Hi Jim,
Tks for your advice.

You have to change your permissions as the root
user, once you do that
everything will work the way it should.
I tried following steps before posting
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ su -
Password: (entered host FC3 root password)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# su - lfs
lfs:~$ echo $LFS
/mnt/lfs
lfs:~$ mkdir ../binuils-build
mkdir: cannot create directory `../binuils-build':
Permission denied
lfs:~$ su
Password: (entered LFS root password)
su: incorrect password
lfs:~$ su -
Password: (entered LFS root password)
su: incorrect password
lfs:~$ su
Password: (entered host FC3 password)
root:/home/lfs#
At this point I hesitated to proceed. Whether it
referred to host FC3 /home/lfs
Because I found
# ls -al /home/lfs/
total 36
drwx------ 2 lfs lfs 4096 Jun 29 13:17 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 28 17:13 ..
-rw------- 1 lfs lfs 622 Jun 29 13:17
.bash_history
-rw-r--r-- 1 lfs lfs 59 Jun 28 18:37
.bash_profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 lfs lfs 96 Jun 28 23:27 .bashrc
There was a directory /home/lfs created on the host
FC3 with 3 hidden files there, namely;
.bash_history
.bash_profile
.bashrc

You know that all the commands in the book expect you in the untarred
