|
|
|
|
<p> - Unpack the rootfs image onto the previously set up mountpoint</p>

<h2>Set up the Environment</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Our environment needs to be set up correctly before any other steps can proceed.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Create the system mountpoint:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><code><mark>(root)# mkdir -v /mnt/everest</mark></code></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Assign the system mounpoint a variable for ease of use:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><code><mark>(root)# export EVEREST=/mnt/everest</mark></code></p>
