You put a "sanity filter" on my question <GRIN>. If physical Live-CD's are

Missed that item when I was skimming the thread. Please, do not use
it - it is too old to build recent versions of LFS.

Where did I even suggest being "recent" was relevant ;/
But it will likely make you comfortable to know that while at the
library downloading the ISO of the 6.3 LiveCD, I also downloaded
the tar of 7.7 .
To be honest, if you have enough space
Have a nearly empty 1TB external USB connected drive ~2 ft. to
left ;)
on the hard disk (say 40GB or
more) then you might as well install debian (perhaps the pre-systemd
version) or ubuntu, but go fo "expert" partitioning : /boot,
somewhere for that distro (10GB if it is only to bootstrap LFS,
maybe double that if you think you might keep it), two partitions
for LFS (current and next - assuming you stay with it for some time
and makesubsequent builds), and shared /home. For the LFS systems,
5GB each should be adequate for trying it out, 15GB each allows a
pretty-full desktop (yes, I know you said you wanted to start with a
minimal system, but available space is always useful).
In actuality, I have a laptop with 75GB drive dedicated to my
Linux experiments and have installed Debian so many times that
I'm on my 10th version preseed.cfg :)
And just in case it isn't clear - for LFS we recommend that you
build a new system when the time comes to upgrade.
I'm interested in lfs solely as a personally instructive tool.
