Question on Mounting Virtual K

satimis

Hi folks,

LFS 6.1

Went throught preceeding Sections.  Now coming to;
6.2. Mounting Virtual Kernel File Systems
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ ... apter06/kernfs.html

lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources/perl-5.8.6$ mkdir -p $LFS/{proc,sys}[code:1]mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/lfs/proc': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/lfs/sys': Permission denied[/code:1]

lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources/perl-5.8.6$ cd ..
lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources$ mkdir -p $LFS/{proc,sys}[code:1]mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/lfs/proc': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/lfs/sys': Permission denied[/code:1]

As 'user' of LFS it is not allowed to execute the above command and the rest commands on this Section.  I can run
lfs:/mnt/lfs/sources$ su -

to login as root of FC3, the Hos, to run those commands.  But it is not on LFS environment.  Would there be any problem?  Or is there an alternative?

TIA

B.R.
