13 | <para> Create a directory for the CLFS build. The exact location is up to you |
---|
14 | but depending on the location you choose, you may need to do this as the |
---|
15 | root user: </para> |

23 | <para>Ensure that this new directory has permissions that are not too |
---|
24 | restrictive such that you can write to it as a non-root user. Depending on |
---|
25 | the location of the <envar>CLFS</envar> directory, you may need to do this |
---|
26 | as the root user:</para> |

30 | <para>Downloaded packages and patches will need to be stored somewhere |
---|
31 | that is conveniently available throughout the entire build. A working |
---|
32 | directory is also required to unpack the sources and build them. |
---|
33 | <filename class="directory">${CLFS}/sources</filename> can be used both |
---|
34 | as the place to store the tarballs and patches and as a working |
---|
35 | directory.</para> |
