<para>This ensures that the Psmisc binaries will install into
<filename class="directory">/bin</filename> instead of <filename
class="directory">/usr/bin</filename>. This is the correct location
according to the FHS, because some of the Psmisc binaries are used
by the LFS-Bootscripts package.</para>

<para>There is no reason for the <command>pstree</command> and

<screen><userinput>mv -v /bin/pstree* /usr/bin</userinput></screen>
<para>By default, Psmisc's <command>pidof</command> program is not
installed. This usually is not a problem because it is installed later
in the Sysvinit package, which provides a better
<command>pidof</command> program. If Sysvinit will not be used for a
particular system, complete the installation of Psmisc by creating the
following symlink:</para>
<screen><userinput>ln -sv killall /bin/pidof</userinput></screen>
