|

5 | <para>When logged in as <emphasis>root</emphasis>, making a single mistake
|
---|
6 | can damage or even wreck your system. Therefore we recommend that you
|
---|
7 | build the packages in this chapter as an unprivileged user. You could
|
---|
8 | of course use your own user name, but to make it easier to set up a clean
|
---|
9 | work environment we'll create a new user <emphasis>lfs</emphasis> and
|
---|
10 | use this one during the installation process. As <emphasis>root</emphasis>,
|
---|
11 | issue the following commands to add the new user:</para>
|
---|
12 |
|
---|
13 | <screen><userinput>useradd -s /bin/bash -m lfs
|
---|
14 | passwd lfs</userinput></screen>
|
---|
15 |
|
---|
16 | <para>Now grant this new user <emphasis>lfs</emphasis> full access to
|
---|
17 | <filename class="directory">$LFS/tools</filename> by giving it ownership
|
---|
18 | of the directory:</para>
|
---|
19 |
|
---|
20 | <screen><userinput>chown lfs $LFS/tools</userinput></screen>
|
---|
21 |
|
---|
22 | <para>If you made a separate working directory as suggested, give user
|
---|
23 | <emphasis>lfs</emphasis> ownership of this directory too:</para>
|
---|
24 |
|
---|
25 | <screen><userinput>chown lfs $LFS/sources</userinput></screen>
|
---|
26 |
|
---|
27 | <para>Next, login as user <emphasis>lfs</emphasis>. This can be done via a
|
---|
28 | virtual console, through a display manager, or with the following substitute
|
---|
29 | user command:</para>
|
---|
30 |
|
---|
31 | <screen><userinput>su - lfs</userinput></screen>
|
---|
32 |
|
---|
33 | <para>The "<userinput>-</userinput>" instructs <userinput>su</userinput> to
|
---|
34 | start a new, clean shell.</para>
