I'm on my third attempt at LFS, so I'm going to get picky as I read through.
First some history. My first attempt at LFS was from a 64 bit Ubuntu. Wasn't possible. Second attempt was CLFS and I bogged down. Now I have 32 bit Kubuntu (on a 64 bit AMD). Now the pickiness. In part 2.3 I'm guessing I should be root when making partitions. Maybe I missed it. It doesn't seem to say. Of course I can never really be root. I have to sudo wherever it is appropriate. Then in 2.4 it becomes less obvious. When I mkdir the /mnt/lfs directory should I be root instead of user1? Does it matter? Remember that I have to sudo if it does matter. In 3.1 you specifically say to execute the mkdir as root. I think it logically follows that the chmod must be as root, but it doesn't say, and I'm not sure. I think it gets snarky if I don't. Sorry if I'm being a pain, but I tend to be very thorough about procedures. Murphy's Law feeds on ambiguity.
