| 13 |   <para>This chapter shows how to compile and install a minimal Linux
 | 
|---|
| 14 |   system. This system will contain just enough tools to start
 | 
|---|
| 15 |   constructing the final LFS system in <xref
 | 
|---|
| 16 |   linkend="chapter-building-system"/> and allow a working environment
 | 
|---|
| 17 |   with more user convenience than a minimum environment would.</para>
 | 
|---|
| 18 | 
 | 
|---|
| 19 |   <para>The tools in this chapter are cross-compiled using the toolchain in /cross-tools. The files compiled in this chapter will be installed under the
 | 
|---|
| 20 |   <filename class="directory">$LFS/tools</filename> directory to keep
 | 
|---|
| 21 |   them separate from the files installed in <xref
 | 
|---|
| 22 |   linkend="chapter-building-system"/> and the host production directories.
 | 
|---|
| 23 |   Since the packages compiled here are temporary, we do not want them to
 | 
|---|
| 24 |   pollute the soon-to-be LFS system.</para>
 |

| 25 | 
 |

| 26 |   <para>Check one last time that the <envar>LFS</envar> environment
 | 
|---|
| 27 |   variable is set up properly:</para>

| 31 |   <para>Make sure the output shows the path to the LFS partition's mount
 | 
|---|
| 32 |   point, which is <filename class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename>, using
 | 
|---|
| 33 |   our example.</para>

| 35 |   <para>During this section of the build you will see several WARNING
 | 
|---|
| 36 |   messages like the one below. It is safe to ignore these messages.</para>
