-packages will be installed onto the root or in /usr on the LFS
-partition ($LFS/bin, $LFS/usr/lib, etc...), rather than /tools.
-However, since you are still installing these packages from the host
-system, these packages will need to be installed using the "DESTDIR"
-option with make.</para>

-$LFS to the <systemitem class="username">lfs</systemitem> user. Run
