Hi everyone,

I recently started building an LFS and I a few questions. I am using
LFS book version 8.0.

the book says that all sources should be put in a directory where
they will accessible from the chroot environment. Does this mean that
I should chroot to /media/LFS/ before building binutils? The book
doesn't say to do so, but I just want to make sure.

I was confused about all this for awhile, too. After following the instructions *carefully*, I understood that what you end up with is something like this:

/mnt/lfs/sources
/mnt/lfs/tools

*After* getting into the chroot environment, these look like:

/sources
/tools

Follow the instructions. They do not tell you to use chroot until Chapter 6. Just follow the instructions as given until you understand enough to change them. Use /mnt/lfs as a separate partition and put the sources in /mnt/lfs/sources.
