We kindly request you to give us a solution.

Hi,

if you don't know how to check/change the permissions on a linux file system, you do not have enough experience to build and use an LFS built system, let alone build your own distro.

May I suggest you look at the prerequists in the LFS book and try using a pre made distro to gain more experience of basic linux functionality.

Matt
