I'm happy with the consensus on your suggestion achieved by the
colonists and night-owls :-) but would like to add this into the idea
melting-pot:

One of the enduring FAQs on BLFS is the build order/dependency sequence.
 I note another discussion of it in the thread 'GCC-3.3.6' between Greg
and Randy.

I've often thought it would be nice if there were a few sample builds,
say 'Office Workstation', 'Author's Workstation', 'Secure Mail Server'
or similar.  These would be a selection of the BLFS pages hyperlinked
with a narative showing the new reader how these are typically built
using the BLFS instructions.  We could then use the samples as QA
scripts.  I would be quite keen to write some of these myself.

I have more to say on this is it meets general acceptance, but I'll
reserve that if the idea is rejected (and so save my fingers ;)

Richard.
