I've done LFS a couple of times, it's definately a great way to learn
about software compiling and the way a typical Linux install works.
For any of us that want to force set directories at compile time, the
"--bindir=/usr/sbin" and "--libexecdir=/path" are great options. LFS
uses these and others. 

For locating "what is put where" during the "make install", I would
suggest the "checkinstall" program or a can provide a shell script that
does roughly the same thing.

For more info on LFS, check:

If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question!
