+
+<para><userinput>--with-root-prefix="":</userinput> The
+reason for supplying this option is because of the setup of the
+e2fsprogs Makefile. Some programs are essential for system use when,
+for example, /usr isn't mounted (like the e2fsck program). These
+programs and libraries, therefore, belong in directories like /lib and
+/sbin. If this option isn't passed to E2fsprogs's configure, it places
+these programs in /usr, which is not what we want.</para>
+
+<para><userinput>--enable-elf-shlibs:</userinput> This creates shared
+libraries that some programs in this package can make use of.</para>
+
+<para><userinput>make install-libs:</userinput> This installs the shared
+libraries that are built.</para>
+
+<para><userinput>install-info...:</userinput> This updates the

+info pages to the index.</para>
