- <title>About $LFS</title>
-
- <para>Throughout this book, the environment variable <envar>LFS</envar> will
- be used. It is paramount that this variable is always defined.
- It should be set to the mount point chosen for the LFS partition.
- Check that the <envar>LFS</envar> variable is set up properly with:</para>
-
-<screen role="nodump"><userinput>echo $LFS</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>Make sure the output shows the path to the LFS partition's mount
- point, which is <filename class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename> if the
- provided example was followed. If the output is incorrect, the
- variable can be set with:</para>
-
-<screen role="nodump"><userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>Having this variable set is beneficial in that commands such as
- <command>mkdir $LFS/tools</command> can be typed literally. The shell
- will automatically replace <quote>$LFS</quote> with
- <quote>/mnt/lfs</quote> (or whatever the variable was set to) when it
- processes the command line.</para>
-
- <para>Do not forget to check that <envar>$LFS</envar> is set whenever
- you leave and reenter the current working environment (as when doing a
- <command>su</command> to <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>
- or another user).</para>
