Here's the output from env whilst running as root:- SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm XDG_SESSION_COOKIE=50d00a9851ad6f686a287e0f00000002-1344796956.189292-1832017346 USER=root LFS=/mnt/lfs MAIL=/var/mail/root PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin PWD=/root LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHLVL=1 HOME=/root LANGUAGE=en_GB:en LOGNAME=root DISPLAY=:0.0 XAUTHORITY=/home/richard/.Xauthority COLORTERM=gnome-terminal _=/usr/bin/env You can see that LFS *is* defined. I've now tried removing and reinstalling /dev/shm and $LFS/dev/shm manually but whatever I do to /dev/shm occurs in $LFS/dev/shm and vice versa. Is that the nature of a bind mount? Richard
