I must say that the author understands nothing about the difference between the LiveCD and a regular LFS system. E.g., instead of removing the LiveCD-specific quirk about not using tmpfs for /dev, this document suggests renaming the S40mountfs script. Additionally, instead of configuring the language the way it is suggested to do in the LFS book, the LiveCD-specific "langconf" script is modified. Look at the garbage it leaves in /etc/profile after the second boot. There are more such issues. If you want to extract the LiveCD contents to a partition, better use my proprietary HOWTO, available under the following conditions via private mail: 1. The recepient won't redistribute it 2. The recepient has built a recent (i.e., >=6.2) LFS at least once, starting from a non-livecd-based distribution and not using any automation tools. 3. The recepient realizes that the LiveCD contents differ from LFS 4. The recepient unsubscribes from the support lists and agrees to be banned on #lfs-support IRC channel. -- Alexander E.
