Just a thought, T2 might be a little more to your liking if you're not hardcore enough to figure all that out on your own. :-) http://t2-project.org/ They provide a script that you can run that will produce a live or bootable CD. You just write a config file listing what packages you want, and you provide the patches you want. Then you go to bed while it builds everything. :-) Back to LFS, for a live CD, drop all your files from your LFS install into a CD image, and add a bootloader. Grub can boot from a CD. (I don't know all the details.) X is getting to the point that it can do quite a bit of autodetection on its own. Networking should also be *fairly* easy if you assume DHCP. Otherwise, you would be own your own writing setup scripts or borrowing them from another distro. For an install CD, you'd (again) have to write your own installer, or borrow one from elsewhere. BTW, I know the LFS site provides a live CD image. I see that the documentation does provide some information on your to customize your own image, though I do not see instructions for building it from scratch yourself.
