When you go into the VM, extract jhalfs to your /home directory (the
name doesn't matter). Run from there. jhalfs should create
/mnt/lfs/{jhalfs,sources}. I tell it not to mess with sources and then
just copy them manually to /mnt/lfs/sources, because I sometimes make
changes there.
Another easy way is to get the lfs-wget file and do:
cd /mnt/lfs/sources; wget -i ~/lfs-wget
