<title>Building LFS in Stages</title>
<para>LFS is designed to be built in one session. That is, the
instructions assume that the system will not be shut down
during the process. That does not mean that the system has to
be done in one sitting. The issue is that certain procedures
have to be re-accomplished after a reboot if resuming LFS at
different points.</para>
<sect2>
<title>Chapters 1–4</title>
<para>These chapters are accomplished on the host system. When
restarting, be careful of the following:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Procedures done as the
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user after Section
2.4 need to have the LFS environment variable set
<emphasis>FOR THE ROOT USER</emphasis>.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Chapter 5–6</title>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The /mnt/lfs partition must be mounted.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>These two chapters <emphasis>must</emphasis> be done as user
<systemitem class="username">lfs</systemitem>.
A <command>su - lfs</command> needs to be done before any task in these
chapters. Failing to do that, you are at risk of installing packages to the
host, and potentially rendering it unusable.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The procedures in <xref linkend='ch-tools-generalinstructions'/>
are critical. If there is any
doubt about installing a package, ensure any previously expanded
tarballs are removed, then re-extract the package files, and complete all
instructions in that section.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>

<sect2>
<title>Chapter 7–10</title>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The /mnt/lfs partition must be mounted.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>A few operations, from <quote>Changing Ownership</quote> to
<quote>Entering the Chroot Environment</quote> must be done as the
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user, with the LFS
environment variable set for the
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>user.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para> When entering chroot, the LFS environment variable must be set
for <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>. The LFS
variable is not used afterwards.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para> The virtual file systems must be mounted. This can be done
before or after entering chroot by changing to a host virtual terminal
and, as <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>, running the
commands in
<xref linkend='ch-tools-bindmount'/> and
<xref linkend='ch-tools-kernfsmount'/>.</para>
