I don't use virtualization for that.
My approach is to chroot as if still continuing lfs and using the host
system's capabilities for google and copy/paste.
See LFS chapter 6.2. Preparing Virtual Kernel File Systems.
See LFS chapter 6.62. Cleaning Up.
I attempt to make a script to help me do those 2 things consistently:
--------------------------
read -p "LFS=" LFS
[ -z "$LFS" ] || [ ! -d $LFS ] && exit
export LFS &&
mount -v --bind /dev $LFS/dev &&
mount -vt devpts devpts $LFS/dev/pts &&
mount -vt tmpfs shm $LFS/dev/shm &&
mount -vt proc proc $LFS/proc &&
mount -vt sysfs sysfs $LFS/sys &&
chroot "$LFS" /usr/bin/env -i \
HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin \
/bin/bash --login +h
-----------------------------
First I build programs for getting network and wget, lynx, etc ...
Some have claimed to build on launched new system using just lynx and
gpm to browse and copy/paste, but I need more gui.
Actually, I keep using the above "chroot" setup until I have Xorg and
a graphic browser going ... ready-made firefox from firefox web site,
even.
Once that is finished, I can launch the new system on its own and continue.
