OK, looking at some scripts I see variables used, like:
 $SOFTWAREFILE $PACKAGEDIR $WORKDIR  etc...
Where do they get set / what are they set to / what variables are
available for use in the script ?

In the "install" section, WHERE do I install the binaries?
If I do a normal "make install", wouldn't that install it under the
lfssystem directory?  Do they go there or under some other directory?

Thanks, Bruce.
