Description Robert Nagle 2002-11-26 00:01:02 UTC

This code example doesn't say that TMPDIR should be exported. 

Code listing 8.1: Downloading Required Stages

# cd /mnt/gentoo
# env TMPDIR="/mnt/gentoo" lynx

why should it be exported ? 
the only command that needs it is lynx ... 
then you chroot and forget about the var 
 
the only reason i can see for it being exported is that it would make for a cleaner Code 
listing ...

I agree - tmpdir is for lynx only, there is no reason for it to be exported 
into the environment. invalid.
