A fresh 6.1? Old and crusty is more like it. ;)

Hey, Florian said freshly-installed, not latest version.
Some people don't have a lot of free time and it can take a while....
A couple of years ago I was trying to replace my LFS 4.1 with 5.0 and had to
abandon the project half-way because the patches weren't available for
download anymore on the LFS web site! (OK, it was old hardware too. When it
takes 48hrs to build glibc and you mess up a couple of times or want to try
a few variations of settings and you only get two evenings a week to work on
it if you're lucky....)
It also depends what you want to get out of a build. You can more-or-less
cut the build commands out of the book and paste them directly into a bash
prompt and you have a good chance having a successfull system build at the
end of it. But you don't necessarily learn a lot that way. If you read the
INSTALL file first, tweak a few build settings and compare results, glance
through the patches and decide to install or not, check the Makefile to see
whether make install will respect your DESTDIR destdir for a trial
installation and binary tarball or just trash your system immediately, skim
the documentation and try out the package.... That way you learn a lot more
but it also takes a lot longer... But I'd still call the system
"freshly-installed" at the end of the excercise ;-)
