Here I disagree. Because of numerous deviations and wagons of extras, it proves nothing. Here is a counterexample: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-support/2007-September/033586.html . In this case, the network card worked only because the LiveCD included pcmcia-utils. So the choice is, in fact, between deviations/extras and a non-working CD for a non-negligible amount of users. I think this also has something to do with the fundamental conflict between LFS not intending to be a distro, and the LiveCD being a binary distro in some sense. -- Alexander E.
