| 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>
