It's fun because there are tons of different configurations you can do and take complete control over the whole system from boot till crash, after understanding how it all works. Good advice from those who contributed information. After you build it all and get it to load, you can very well strip all the components not needed after building the LFS and building Firefox. There will be a ton of programs that won't be used for your particular system you have described. The toolchain, many apps that were installed for testing, in chap 5, libraries, etc. you'll just have to see what the system accesses after you run it a few times. After you've investigated it all, remove the components that haven't been touched in say a week or so. Give it a few reboots. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/OLD/stripped- down.txt You touch a timestamp then use find with the anewer option and it works fairly well.
