- <title>How to download the software</title>
- <para>
- Throughout this document, I will assume that all the
- packages that were downloaded are placed somewhere in $LFS/usr/src.
- </para>
- <para>
- I use the convention of having a $LFS/usr/src/sources directory.
- Under sources, I have the directory 0-9 and the directories a
- through z. A package like sysvinit-2.78.tar.gz is stored under
- $LFS/usr/src/sources/s/. A package like bash-2.04.tar.gz is stored under
- $LFS/usr/src/sources/b/, and so forth. This convention does not have to be
- followed, of course; I was just giving an example. It's better to keep
- the packages out of $LFS/usr/src and move them to a subdirectory, so
- we'll have a clean $LFS/usr/src directory in which we will unpack the
- packages and work with them.
- </para>
- <para>
- The next chapter contains the list of all the packages that need to be
- downloaded,
- but the partition that is going to contain our LFS system isn't created yet.
- Therefore, the files are temporarily stored somewhere else (it's up to
- you to decide where this 'else' is) and later moved to $LFS/usr/src/ when
- the chapter in which the new partition is prepared has been finished.
