4<para>It's best to log in as root or su's to root when installing the
5packages. That way you are assured that all files are owned by user and
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
8due to non-root access.</para>

10<para>The documentation that comes with Glibc, Gcc, and other
11packages recommend not to compile the packages as user root. We
12feel it's safe to ignore that recommendation and compile as user root
13anyway. Hundreds of people using LFS have done so without any problems
14whatsoever, and we haven't encountered any bugs in the compile processes
15that cause harm. So it's pretty safe (never can be 100% safe though, so
16it's up to you what you end up doing).</para>
