Description
may be a lot safer, less chance messing up starting distro after mounting $LFS, run "chown user.group -R $LFS" (the reader has to pick his/her own values).
then after entering chroot the first time in chapter 6, run "chown 0.0 -R /"
that should do it.

the idea was to minimize potential damage done to host distro. Running chown root.root -R $LFS may fail if $LFS isn't set. Or if /mnt/lfs isn't typed properly, or for some reason somebody types -R / mnt/lfs or something stupid.
Running it inside chroot is the safest way (which again was the whole idea behind it, don't touch with root until chroot is entered)

Installing sh-utils:
WARNING: insufficient access; not installing su NOTE: to install su, run 'make install-root' as root
it is a nice idea... but at least sh-utils have to be installed as root (_if_ we want su in chroot, that is =)

hmm.. why not chown root.root -r $LFS *before* entering chroot? Will it make a difference either way? Which solution do people prefer is put in?
