Internal markup reworking to fix the extraneous whitespace problem in the "tidy generated" web site pages. Essentially replace all ocurrences of <para><screen> with <screen> (and of course the matching closing tags).

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