Damn, I meant for that to be a lower case 'a', but it doesn't matter as you've found the solution - you should be running these commands as root. I'm not sure what you're asking at the end, but when you create files as root, they will be owned by the user "number 0" (usually called root). There shouldn't be any confusion between the systems, as that user will be "number 0" in both systems. Once you get to step 6.3 and start using the chroot command, things should become a bit more clear.
Ahh, I see now. No, as long as you make sure you are in the chroot environment before you run anything, your FC3 host shouldn't be affected in any way. If you log out or reboot, be sure to rerun the chroot command before you continue with LFS.
Nope, you shouldn't need the lfs user any more (but don't delete it yet, in case I've forgotten something). The instructions for the chroot command are in 6.3, and once you reach that point, you should always make sure you re-run that command (as root, not lfs) before continuing with your LFS instructions.
In other words:
1) From this point on, ALWAYS log in as root, never as lfs (unless told otherwise)
2) When you get to section 6.3, bookmark it, and re-run the chroot command any time you've had to log in to continue your build, right up until you get your LFS system to boot.
