Chapter 4.4. Setting Up the Environment:
The exec env -i.../bin/bash command in the .bash_profile file
replaces the running shell with a new one with a completely empty
environment, except for the HOME, TERM, and PS1 variables.
...
The new instance of the shell is a non-login shell, which does not read
the /etc/profile or .bash_profile files, but rather reads the .bashrc
file instead. Create the .bashrc file now:
Then it says to set the lfs user's environment variables in .bashrc
As I understand it, the lines in .bash_profile after the
exec env -i.../bin/bash command do nothing. Put them in .bashrc
as the book says.
