<para>When we have entered the chroot'ed environment in the next section we
|
|
want to export a couple of environment variables in that shell such as
|
|
PS1, PATH and others variables which are good to have set. For that
|
|
purpose we'll create the $LFS/root/.bash_profile file which will be read
|
|
by bash when we enter the chroot environment.</para>

<para>Create a new file <filename>$LFS/root/.bash_profile</filename>

by running the following.</para>

<para><screen><userinput>cat > $LFS/root/.bash_profile << "EOF"</userinput>

# Begin /root/.bash_profile

PS1='\u:\w\$ '

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

export PS1 PATH

# End /root/.bash_profile

<userinput>EOF</userinput></screen></para>

|
|
<para>The PS1 variable is an environment variable that controls the appearance
|
|
of the command prompt. See the bash man page for details how this variable
|
|
is constructed. Additional environment variables, aliases and so forth that are
|
|
needed and/or wanted can be added at your own discretion.</para>
