In chapter 5 run make install as user lfs. If you do it as root you run the risk of destroying your host system. Also, root does not have the same environment variables set as the user lfs so the commands will not be executed in the same way if they are run by root. > question: should /usr/local/bin be in my path variable for user lfs?
