I'm not really in favor of that. I think it would make Xorg harder to build. IIRC, there are 250 or so packages in Xorg. A separate page for each would make it quite tedious. >> Should we tackle a LiveCD again? > > As a BLFS thing? I thought the Live CD was a separate project.

I suspect that most of the issues have to do with video, but I suppose that disk and network could be issues. I believe GRUB can be used to start a LiveCD now and I'd give an option to start a terminal or a graphic screen. > It would be a labour of Sisyphus.
