I should login as root or lfs to begin?

Any user will do, but generally not lfs if you follow the book 
explicitly.  Section 4.3:

groupadd lfs
useradd -s /bin/bash -g lfs -m -k /dev/null lfs
...
su - lfs

I can't extract for the first package

-----------
lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources$ tar xvjf binutils-2.24.tar.bz2

I don't like bsd style options.  They can give what you don't expect. 
The above is ok, but the v and j are not needed.  Use

tar -xf binutils-2.24.tar.bz2

tar (child): binutils-2.24.tar.bz2: Cannot open: Permission denied

You should be able to figure out permission problems yourself to build 
LFS.
maybe because as root I copied
cp -r /home/student/lfs/packages/* /mnt/lfs/sources
cp -r /home/student/lfs/patchs/* /mnt/lfs/sources
I did not use "wget command"
Section 3.1:

mkdir -v $LFS/sources
chmod -v a+wt $LFS/sources

Later as user lfs in Chapter 5:

cd $LFS/sources
tar -xf binutils-2.24.tar.bz2

But you don't, strictly speaking, need to be in $LFS/sources.  For 
Chapter 5, from any writable directory by user lfs:

tar -xf $LFS/sources/binutils-2.24.tar.bz2

and proceed from there.  But you can't do that in Chapter 6, so the most 
consistent place for everything is $LFS/sources (which will be /sources 
in Chapter 6).
