 Set up the environment by sourcing an included script:

 The system is now bootstrapped with minimal changes to the host. Should
 you wish to abort partway through and continue later, simply unmount
 /src and then remount it when ready to begin again.

+% make buildtools

+# Hitch Hiker Linux
+## Source and build tree
+### #!/don't/panic
+This is the source and build tree for the Hitch Hiker Linux base system. It is
+organized thus:
+```
+.
+├── build        The output directory
+├── distfiles    Downloaded source tarballs
+├── include      Included Makefiles and headers
+├── scripts      Support scripts
+├── toolchain    Build tree for the toolchain and Glibc
+└── world        Build tree for the base system
+```
+The subdirectories ```toolchain``` and ```world``` are further subdivided by
+individual program and source package. Many of the subdirectories just wrap the
+HitchHiker build system around that of third party sources. However, the special
+subdirectories ```bin```, ```sbin```, ```usr.bin```, ```usr.sbin```, and ```lib```
+contain sources that are imported directly into HitchHiker, or written specifically
+for it, and build directly using Make.
+
+For overall instructions for building the sources, see INSTALL.md
