<title>Creating Directories</title>
<para>It is time to create some structure in the LFS file system. Create a
standard directory tree by issuing the following commands:</para>
<screen><userinput>mkdir -pv /{bin,boot,etc/{opt,sysconfig},home,lib/firmware,mnt,opt}
mkdir -pv /{media/{floppy,cdrom},sbin,srv,var}
install -dv -m 0750 /root
install -dv -m 1777 /tmp /var/tmp
mkdir -pv /usr/{,local/}{bin,include,lib,sbin,src}
mkdir -pv /usr/{,local/}share/{color,dict,doc,info,locale,man}
mkdir -v /usr/{,local/}share/{misc,terminfo,zoneinfo}
mkdir -v /usr/libexec
mkdir -pv /usr/{,local/}share/man/man{1..8}
case $(uname -m) in
x86_64) ln -sv lib /lib64
ln -sv lib /usr/lib64
ln -sv lib /usr/local/lib64 ;;
esac
mkdir -v /var/{log,mail,spool}
ln -sv /run /var/run
ln -sv /run/lock /var/lock
mkdir -pv /var/{opt,cache,lib/{color,misc,locate},local}</userinput></screen>
<para>Directories are, by default, created with permission mode 755, but
this is not desirable for all directories. In the commands above, two
changes are made&mdash;one to the home directory of user <systemitem
class="username">root</systemitem>, and another to the directories for
temporary files.</para>
<para>The first mode change ensures that not just anybody can enter
the <filename class="directory">/root</filename> directory&mdash;the
same as a normal user would do with his or her home directory. The
second mode change makes sure that any user can write to the
<filename class="directory">/tmp</filename> and <filename
class="directory">/var/tmp</filename> directories, but cannot remove
another user's files from them. The latter is prohibited by the so-called
<quote>sticky bit,</quote> the highest bit (1) in the 1777 bit mask.</para>

<title>FHS Compliance Note</title>
<para>The directory tree is based on the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
(FHS) (available at <ulink
url="https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/en/FHS"/>). The FHS also stipulates
the optional existence some directories such as <filename
class="directory">/usr/local/games</filename> and <filename
class="directory">/usr/share/games</filename>. We create only the
directories that are needed. However, feel free to create these
directories. </para>
