Hi.

In chapter 5.1 it is explained :

   Before issuing the build instructions for a package, the package
   should be unpacked as user lfs, and a cd into the created directory
   should be performed. The build instructions assume that the bash shell
   is in use.

Have a look at this introduction :-)
