more clarification of "log in as lfs user" 
And, don't recommended to "log in as lfs through a DM" anymore: if you
log in through a DM then start a terminal emulator, the first shell in
the emulator is often a non-login shell.  It's not something we expect.

addinguser: don't say "log in as lfs user" 
"log in" is a specifically defined action on UNIces.  When you log in
as a user, an entry will be added into /run/utmp and /var/log/wtmp.
But when you switch to lfs with "su", this won't happen.

"man su" also describes "--login" as:

    Provide an environment similar to what the user would expect had
    the user logged in directly.

It's "similar to" logged in, not "really" logged in.

So, don't say "log in" or the users may assume they must really log in
as lfs in a VT or DM.

562062295e Polish up the prose in "Toolchain Technical Notes". Fix capitalization. 
Rough edges remain. For instance, $LFS_TGT-ld is referenced, but not
clearly defined. Will need to discuss wirh other editors to resolve.

kernel: adjust the instruction for mounting /boot 
LFS and the host may use different /boot configuration, so do not assume
they'll share a /boot partition (two different /boot partition or only one
with separate /boot are possible).

creatingfilesystem: Refine the condition where a FS is needed 
For example, a swap partition does not contain any FS.  And, if you want
to clone a partition, you can use

    dd if=/dev/<old-partition> of=/dev/<new-partition>

then it's unnecessary to create a FS on new-partition before operation.
This is sometimes faster than creating a new FS, mounting both
partition, then "cp -av" if the old-partition contains many small files.

16cd09633e Adjust instructions for /dev/shm when creating virtual filesystems. 
Some host create /dev/shm as a tmpfs.  Some have is as
a symlink to a location in another directory.  This
change handles both cases.

The change to the sysV bootscripts now creates /dev/shm
as a separate tmpfs from /run.  This makes LFS sysV and
systemd versions treat /dev/shm the same.
