Some programs hard-wire paths to programs which don't exist yet. In order to satisfy these programs, we create a number of symbolic links which will be replaced by real files throughout the course of this chapter when we're installing all the software. ln -s /stage1/bin/{bash,pwd,cat,stty,echo,sed} /bin ln -s /stage1/bin/{rm,mv,chmod,chgrp} /bin ln -s /stage1/bin/{perl,msgfmt,xgettext,msgmerge,install} /usr/bin ln -s /stage1/bin/{sort,gawk,cmp} /usr/bin ln -s bash /bin/sh ln -s ../usr/bin/install /bin
