Now that all of the software has been installed, it's time to exit the chroot environment and reboot the computer. Before we exit the chroot environment, let's unmount any mounted virtual file systems by running: umount /proc umount /dev/pts Exit the chroot environment: logout Before we reboot, let's unmount the LFS partition itself: umount $LFS If you earlier decided to create multiple partitions, you'll need to unmount the other partitions before you unmount $LFS, like this: umount $LFS/usr umount $LFS/home umount $LFS And now you can reboot your system by running something like: /sbin/shutdown -r now At the Grub menu make sure that you tell it to boot lfs and not the default entry which will boot your host system again. After you have rebooted, your LFS system is ready for use and you can start adding your own software.
