[b822811]4<para>It's best to log in as root or su's to root when installing the
[607c7370]5packages. That way you are assured that all files are owned by user and
[13dd793]6group root (and not owned by the userid of the non-root user), and if a
7package wants to set special permissions, it can do so without problems
[b822811]8due to non-root access.</para>
[db7ed0a]9
[b822811]10<para>The documentation that comes with Glibc, Gcc, and other
[72033583]11packages recommend not to compile the packages as user root. We
[db7ed0a]12feel it's safe to ignore that recommendation and compile as user root
[13dd793]13anyway. Hundreds of people using LFS have done so without any problems
14whatsoever, and we haven't encountered any bugs in the compile processes
[db7ed0a]15that cause harm. So it's pretty safe (never can be 100% safe though, so
[b822811]16it's up to you what you end up doing).</para>
