First of all I would like to apologise for the delay in replying and thanking all those who replied to my query, it was most remiss of me and I hope nobody thinks me rude because of it. I have chosen to use Gentoo as my base distribution (when I can get it to recognise the Wi-Fi that is) because learning that would be a good primer (I think) for the actual LFS build when the time comes.
Thanks in advance, A.
