Building LFS within virtual environments at the moment (running on an

The whole thing really. It does everything it says it does rather nicely.

I dont find any of it annoying or useless as such, but see my next 
comment below.

I hope I dont get blasted for this, just a couple of things that I think 
would be useful:

1.   A revised kernel with newer hardware support. (915/965 chipset 
etc). My laptop and one of my desktop boards (Intel DG965OT) have a lot 
of difficulty booting from this CD and a lot of other distro boot cd's.
2.  A small script for the network setup. I find the network a bit hit 
and miss sometimes, possibly due to point (1) above.

Overall I find the CD very well made up and am happy with it. As a linux 
learning tool, it is one of the most useful I have ever come across. It 
is very well explained as you go along, and has a good balance of the 
theoretical stuff and hands on stuff.
