I started over. I am now at the section where we remove the 'I have no name!' prompt. The instructions are to start a new shell. Well.... I guess that is okay but the way I am doing this is:

I have two computers. One I am building LFS on and the other I am building LFS from via ssh. SO I start a new shell and ssh into the LFS computer. Then I do the steps in 6.2.2 and 6.2.3 but my user is still th user I ssh(ed) with. I don't know what to say. I guess I could just not start the new shell and then su when I need to issue a command as root. I hope this is enough info to tell me what to do.

Uh ohhhhh...... the power went on the LFS machine and so I need to restart LFS at chapter 6. I did as the book instructs and do the steps at 6.2.2 and 6.2.3 but realized $LFS wasn't set. What am I doing wrong? What else do I need to do to restart LFS?

This is what I've done:

root@debian:/home/mike# mount -v --bind /dev $LFS/dev
/dev on /dev type none (rw,bind)

root@debian:/home/mike# mount -vt devpts devpts $LFS/dev/pts -o gid=5,mode=620
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
root@debian:/home/mike# mount -vt proc proc $LFS/proc
mount: proc already mounted
root@debian:/home/mike# mount -vt sysfs sysfs $LFS/sys
mount: sysfs already mounted or /sys busy
mount: according to mtab, sysfs is already mounted on /sys
root@debian:/home/mike# mount -vt tmpfs tmpfs $LFS/run
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw)

then I verified $LFS wasn't set

root@debian:/home/mike# echo $LFS

then I set $LFS

root@debian:/home/mike# export LFS=/mnt/lfs

then I redid 6.3.3

root@debian:/home/mike# mount -v --bind /dev $LFS/dev
mount: mount point /mnt/lfs/dev does not exist
root@debian:/home/mike# mount -vt devpts devpts $LFS/dev/pts -o gid=5,mode=620
mount: mount point /mnt/lfs/dev/pts does not exist
root@debian:/home/mike# mount -vt proc proc $LFS/proc
mount: mount point /mnt/lfs/proc does not exist
root@debian:/home/mike# mount -vt sysfs sysfs $LFS/sys
mount: mount point /mnt/lfs/sys does not exist
root@debian:/home/mike# mount -vt tmpfs tmpfs $LFS/run
mount: mount point /mnt/lfs/run does not exist
root@debian:/home/mike#

then I realized I had to mount the LFS partition (mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/lfs) for $LFS to work. I'm so happy I figured that out on my own! But still I do not know about starting the new shell thing..... I know.... do I need to redo section 6.4? One more thing, now after I open the new shell and ssh to the LFS machine:

bmike1@CQ57-1:~$ ssh mike@192.168.0.14
ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
bmike1@CQ57-1:~$ ssh root@192.168.0.14
ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
bmike1@CQ57-1:~$

why is it doing this?
