Another question on building LFS Version 20191222-systemd:
In Section "5.37. Changing Ownership" there's a Note:
"The commands in the remainder of this book must be performed while
logged in as user root and no longer as user lfs. Also, double check
that $LFS is set in root's environment."
At this point in the build process I'm logged in as user lfs, having
done so with "su - lfs" back in Section "4.3. Adding the LFS User".
I could "exit" and get back to whatever user I was, and then do
"su - root" or "su root" or perhaps something else.
How do you recommend logging in now as user root?
Sorry, I'm not fully confident that I know how a shell versus a
login shell plays in the LFS environment.
Use 'exit' to return to the previous user. You will need to change to
the root user if you are not already there in order to do some
preliminary work. Then in Section 6.4 you will enter chroot (only root
can run that) and will be the root user there. Being in chroot should
be apparent from the '(lfs chroot)' part of the prompt.
To exit chroot, again use 'exit', but you will not need to do that until
you finish the book.
Note the the difference between a login shell and a non-login shell is
the initialization scripts that are run. See the bash man page for
details in the INVOCATION section.
