+<title>Creating the $LFS/static directory</title>
+<?dbhtml filename="creatingstaticdir.html" dir="chapter05"?>
+
+<para>As explained in this chapter's introduction, everything we install
+from this chapter will be installed under the <filename
+class="directory">$LFS/static</filename> directory. This way it won't
+pollute the LFS partition with a bunch of temporary files. All we need to
+do is create this directory so we can start installing. Simply run this
+command to create the directory:</para>
+
+<para><screen><userinput>mkdir $LFS/static</userinput></screen></para>
+
+<para>You may want to move the packages you downloaded in chapter 3 to this
+<filename class="directory">$LFS/static</filename> directory, perhaps
+create a subdirectory <filename
+class="directory">$LFS/static/src</filename> to keep them in.</para>
