5 <para>The first thing we'll do, now that we're <emphasis>root</emphasis>,
6 is change the ownership of the files and directories installed in chapter 5
7 to root -- because when later we don't delete the
8 <filename class="directory">/static</filename> directory and start adding
9 new users, one of these users might end up owning the statically linked
10 programs, which is not a good idea.</para>
12 <para>Run the following command to make root the owner of all the statically
13 linked programs:</para>
15 <para><screen><userinput>chown -R 0:0 /static</userinput></screen></para>
17 <para>The command uses "0:0" instead of "root:root", because there is no way
18 to resolve the name "root", as glibc hasn't been installed yet.</para>
