- <title>How to download the software</title>
- <para>
- Throughout this document I will assume that you have stored all the
- packages you have downloaded somewhere in $LFS/usr/src.
- </para>
- <para>
- I use the convention of having a $LFS/usr/src/sources directory.
- Under sources you'll find the directory 0-9 and the directories a
- through z. A package as sysvinit-2.78.tar.gz is stored under
- $LFS/usr/src/sources/s/ A package as bash-2.04.tar.gz is stored under
- $LFS/usr/src/sources/b/ and so forth. You don't have to follow this
- convention 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 you need to download,
- but the partition that is going to contain our LFS system isn't created yet.
- Therefore store the files temporarily somewhere where you want and remember
- to copy them to $LFS/usr/src/ when you have finished the chapter in which
- you prepare a new partition (chapter 4).
