Emacs' `dired` mode might or might not be able to produce a directory listing by itself. However, the author admits that

eshell (emacs' shell) has it's own versions of common shell commands, written in elisp.

eshell only makes an appearance in step 5, the rest are regular sh/bash commands.

The commands before that step are used to build the Linux system.
