-    <para>Before issuing the build instructions for a package, the package
-    should be unpacked as user <systemitem class="username">lfs</systemitem>,

-  <para>Several of the packages are patched before compilation, but only when
-  the patch is needed to circumvent a problem. A patch is often needed in both
-  this and the next chapter, but sometimes in only one or the other. Therefore,
-  do not be concerned if instructions for a downloaded patch seem to be missing.
-  Warning messages about <emphasis>offset</emphasis> or <emphasis>fuzz</emphasis>
-  may also be encountered when applying a patch. Do not worry about these
-  warnings, as the patch was still successfully applied.</para>

-  <para>During the compilation of most packages, there will be several warnings
-  that scroll by on the screen. These are normal and can safely be ignored.
-  These warnings are as they appear&mdash;warnings about deprecated, but not
-  invalid, use of the C or C++ syntax. C standards change fairly often, and
-  some packages still use the older standard. This is not a problem, but does
-  prompt the warning.</para>
