The only sane way ( successful way ) to build LFS for it to be installed
onto other machine is to....
1. Use a package manager
2. Build ALL the packages in a clean chroot
3. Create a base system of packages and all the add on
packages needed. You have to merge LFS and BLFS together.
You will have issues with controlling dependencies between the
various packages.
4. Build an installation script to install the binary packages
from the package manager (repository). Formatting a drive and
installation of binaries going to the formatted drive included
in this step.
5. Fix up the configuration files for each machine.
6. Transfer drive to the target machine.
7. A way to update the target machine(s).
Not true. You can tar up the LFS system and untar it on an empty
partition on the target machine. One caveat is if the target machine is
less capable than the build system, you need to build gmp generically.
Other minor things are to change the host name, ip address, fstab,
grub.cfg, and maybe unprivileged user(s). Also any kernel modules and
(potentially) firmware for the target system must be available.
