   5 <para>As explained in this chapter's introduction, everything we install
   6 from this chapter will be installed under the <filename
   7 class="directory">$LFS/static</filename> directory. This way it won't
   8 pollute the LFS partition with a bunch of temporary files. All we need to
   9 do is create this directory so we can start installing. Simply run this
  10 command to create the directory:</para>

  14 <para>You may want to move the packages you downloaded in chapter 3 to this
  15 <filename class="directory">$LFS/static</filename> directory, perhaps
  16 create a subdirectory <filename
  17 class="directory">$LFS/static/src</filename> to keep them in.</para>
