- <title>Mounting the new partition</title>
 
- <para>Now that we have created a file system, it is ready for use. All we have
 
- to do to be able to access the partition (as in reading data from and writing 
 
- data to) is mount it. If it is mounted under /mnt/lfs, this partition can 
 
- be accessed by cd'ing to the /mnt/lfs directory. This book will assume 
 
- that the partition was mounted under /mnt/lfs. It doesn't matter which 
 
- directory is chosen, just make sure you remember what you chose.</para>
 
- <para>Create the /mnt/lfs directory by running:</para>
 
- <para><screen><userinput>mkdir -p /mnt/lfs</userinput></screen></para>
 
- <para>Now mount the LFS partition by running:</para>
 
- <para><screen><userinput>mount /dev/xxx /mnt/lfs</userinput></screen></para>
 
- <para>Replace <quote>xxx</quote> by the partition's designation (like hda11).</para>
 
- <para>This directory (/mnt/lfs) is the $LFS variable you have read about 
 
- earlier. If you were planning to make use of the $LFS environment variable, 
 
- <userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput> has to be executed now.</para>
