The way you should go about it is cd $LFS/sources tar xvjf binutils-2.16.tar.bz2 cd binutils-2.16 mkdir ../binutils-build cd ../binutils-build The instructions don't include unpacking the source and assumes you have already unpacked and done a cd into the source directory. The .bashrc and .bash_profile were created by you when you set up the user, they set up the PATH and other important variables. .bash_history is a history of the commands you've typed in. Seems like you were expecting them to be in $LFS, which is not the case. They are to set up the environment for the temporary user on your host environment. Look in another users directory on your host system and you will see they have those files as well. $LFS/tools is empty because you haven't installed anything yet. -- Kevin M.
