It's been a while since I did an LFS install, but I assume you have a
partition mounted on `/mnt/lfs`. If that's the case the easiest thing is
to recreate the filesystem. Imagine mount shows something like:
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/lfs type ext4 (rw)
You would un mount the filesystem:
umount /mnt
I am confused. I need to start over. SO to do so I need to know what to
delete. I think it is as easy as exiting back to the host system shell
then:
cd /mnt/lfs; rm -rf *
and then I just need to start over from the point after I mkdir /mnt/lfs.
Is this correct?

If the permissions are set the command is not even visible. With certain
