+<para><userinput>--with-root-prefix="":</userinput> The
|
|
|
+reason for supplying this option is because of the setup of the
|
|
|
+e2fsprogs Makefile. Some programs are essential for system use when,
|
|
|
+for example, /usr isn't mounted (like the e2fsck program). These
|
|
|
+programs and libraries, therefore, belong in directories like /lib and
|
|
|
+/sbin. If this option isn't passed to E2fsprogs's configure, it places
|
|
|
+these programs in /usr, which is not what we want.</para>
