<title>Mounting $LFS/proc file system</title>
<?dbhtml filename="proc.html" dir="chapter06"?>

<para>In order for certain programs to function properly, the proc file
system must be mounted and available from within the chroot'ed environment
as well. It's not a problem to mount the proc file system (or any other
file system for that matter) twice or even more than that.</para>

<para>The proc file system is mounted under $LFS/proc by running the
following command.  Note that we don't use the $LFS variable because we
are now in chroot.</para>
