No, don't use that hint [added by Dan: the livecd hint]- it gives
bad advice. Just boot from the livecd, copy source files from

There was no response. What bad advice does the hint give. Could
you please be more specific.

1. It suggests not creating the LFS user
2. It says to make scripts to set up the build environment and remount
file systems should you need to reboot. This in itself is not a bad
thing, but judging from what I've seen in the support chat room a lot
of people somehow mess it up.
Oh. Thanks, Chris. Yeah, the "no LFS user" thing bothered me as just
something else to keep track of. But on my first LFS build I got tired
of all the typing when I turned of the computer to attend to mundane
things like my wife and my job. I wrote a couple of scripts to use at
reboot time.
I'm going to use the livecd to put LFS on my laptop since there is not
enough room for Windoze, Mandrake and LFS.
Thanks for the response.
Dan
