Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

How long after chapeter 5 does the book explain installation an so forth. I would like to print off the book(or part of it) in order to build LFS. That way, I won't have to keep switching between the console and X in debian when I'm building it. Will stopping, and picking up the installation affect anything? Is ther anything else someone doing this for the first time should know?

You can run the installation in a terminal in X.
Stopping the installation won't affect anything, although if you do restart or something like that causing stuff to become unmounted or environmental variables become unset, make sure to redo those steps. You'll have to redo 6.2 again if you restart (mounting kernel stuff).
How difficult is LFS? Where do I unpack all of the source files? I downloaded the lfs-packages-6.0.tar, and unpacked it in /mnt/lfs/sources, is that correct? How about making a directory called ../binutils-build? I can't make it because debian gives me an error about not having permission. I could do it as root, but then I'd have to change the owner and do all of that. Is there any way to set it so the user lfs can do it? I have given the ownership of /mnt/lfs to lfs, as well as changed the group to lfs. Thoughts?

1. Depending on how much you want to deviate from the guide, it can be very easy or very difficult.
for some reason, when I rebooted, the mkdir command worked. Perhaps I should have logged out, then back in before attempting anything? Here's another question for you. I unpacked binutils into /mnt/lfs, then did 'mkdir binutils-build' as per the book, then i did 'cd binutils-build', and configured the source according to the book. This is the output from the configuration

creating ./config.status
creating Makefile
Then it gave a bunch of errors about lines in the 3000s of the configure script not working, and a program 's' error from sed.
There is nothing in the Makefile, and the 'make configure-host' command fails. HELP!!!

I guess, you had typo mistake , could you post you command?
I have a little experience: using a OS has cut && patse abilities helps so much (ex: Knoppix, ...). All we have to do are just cut && patse

yeah, it was kind of a typo. I didn't realize when running '../binutils-2<etc. etc.>/configure --prefix=/tools \ --disable-nls' that you had to hit enter before the '--disable-nls' gibing you the second line on which to specify --disable-nls. S that worked and I got up to 'make install'. Tried it as user lfs, and it gave me a permission denied error. So then I tried it as root, and the output is here

Originally posted by microsoft/linux yeah, it was kind of a typo. I didn't realize when running '../binutils-2<etc. etc.>/configure --prefix=/tools \ --disable-nls' that you had to hit enter before the '--disable-nls' gibing you the second line on which to specify --disable-nls. S that worked and I got up to 'make install'. Tried it as user lfs, and it gave me a permission denied error. So then I tried it as root, and the output is here
I think, you should change owner of /mnt/lfs/tools to lfs as LFS book suggest:
yes the entire /mnt/lfs is owned by user lfs. The ouput posted above is what happens when 'make install' is done as root.
Here is the output from doing 'make install' as lfs
