One of the first things I did was add a little hack to my boot to give me 11 terminals, and messages sent to tty12. That said, I've had up to 8 terms going following dependencies (and a lot of duckduckgo/google). Judging from my own experience (1st time LFS/BLFS'er (and list poster)), there are a lot of pitfalls along the journey (I'm probably lucky to still have any hair left!). My preference to solve this problem would be to add these variables in the sample /etc/profile file given in BLFS chapter 3.
