Location of Symlink for $LFS/tools

[Dan McGhee]

First of all let me say how great I think LFS is.  I'm pretty disgusted 
with distros right now.  Thanks for the effort.  As my knowlege and 
skill increase (I hope), I'd like to contribute.  But for now, I must 
just build.

I'm using Version 6.0.  In 4.2 "Creating the $LFS/tools Directory," the 
third paragraph, "The next step is to create a /tools symlink on the 
host system."  After a little explanation, which I understand, the command

<ln -s $LFS/tools  />
is given.  I understand the syntax--and I even read the FAQ <BG>.  My 
question is in the location of the link.  I don't want my distro to 
think that everything is mounted in $LFS/tools. 

I'm using the naming system directly from the book.  Should I put the 
link directly in $LFS?  That seems logical since I think that $LFS/tools 
is a "pseudo-root" directory for the following builds.  Is this correct?

If the answer appears somewhere else in the hints or mail archives, I 
have not as yet been able to narrow my search enough to find it.

Thanks, I appreciate any help.
