# Introduction

This chapter shows how to complete the build of temporary tools to create a minimal system that will be used to boot the target machine and to build the final system packages.

There are a few additional packages that will need to be installed to allow you to boot the minimal system. Some of these packages will be installed onto root or in /usr on the CLFS partition (${CLFS}/bin, ${CLFS}/usr/bin, etc...), rather than /tools, using the "DESTDIR" option with make. This will require the `clfs` user to have write access to the rest of the CLFS partition, so you will need to temporarily change the ownership of ${CLFS} to the `clfs` user. Run the following command as `root`:

    chown -v clfs ${CLFS}
