5It's best if you login as root or su to root when installing these
6files. That way you are assured that all files are owned by user root,
7group root (and not owned by the userid of your non-root user) and if a
8package wants to set special permissions it can do so without problems
9due to non-root access.

13If you read the documentation that comes with Glibc, Gcc and other
14packages they recommend not to compile the packages as user root. We
15feel it's safe to ignore that recommendation and compile as user root
16anyways. Hundreds of people using LFS have done so without any problems
17whatsoever and we haven't encountered any bugs in the compile processes
18that cause harm. So it's pretty safe (never can be 100% safe though, so
19it's up to you what you end up doing).
