- <title>Entering the chroot'ed environment</title>
 
- <?dbhtml filename="chroot.html" dir="chapter06"?>
 
- <para>It's time to enter our chroot'ed environment in order to install the
 
- rest of the software we need.</para>
 
- <para>Enter the following commands to enter the chroot'ed environment. From
 
- this point on there's no need to use the $LFS variable anymore, because
 
- everything a user does will be restricted to the LFS partition (since / is
 
- actually /mnt/lfs but the shell doesn't know that).</para>
 
- <para><screen>&c6-chrootcmd;</screen></para>
 
- <para>The -i option will clear all environment variables for as long as you
 
- are in the chroot'ed environment and only the HOME, TERM, PS1 and PATH
 
- variables are set. The TERM=$TERM construction will set the TERM variable
 
- inside chroot to the same value as outside chroot which is needed for
 
- programs like vim and less to operate properly. If you need other variables
 
- present, such as CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS, you need to set them again.</para>
 
- <para>Now that we are inside a chroot'ed environment, we can continue to
 
- install all the basic system software. You have to make sure all the
 
- following commands in this and following chapters are run from within the 
 
- chroot'ed environment. If you ever leave this environment for any reason
 
- (when rebooting for example) you must remember to enter chroot and mount 
 
- $LFS/proc again (as will be discussed later) before continuing with the
 
- book.</para>
 
- <para>Note that the bash prompt will contain "I have no name!" This is
 
- normal because Glibc hasn't been installed yet.</para>
