Well, I guess you would need an installer on a cd.. The installer would create the root directory structure and then place the compiled binaries in the right places... At the end of the day, that's what a system is - files in the "right" places.
So, you would then have to have some way of bundling binaries together and specifying where they should go. I am struggling with the same question you are.. And based on what little I understand, I see 2 ways forward: 1. Create a tar ball of the LFS system and untar it in on a blank partition. I have not tried this and so I don't know if it will actually be feasible. 2. Create RPM packages - which is what distros do - and write them one by one at install time..
