- secondly, you could use the LFS way to produce an installable system to be used on another machine. In this case, you already have a system running (LFS based or your favorite distro) and the goal is to produce an iso, a bootable usb key or netbootable system. In that case, you may not need the LiveCD. But it is very valuable that everyone with whatever system installed could build the system. In that case, the prebuild toolchain is simplier (no need to be able to boot the building machine, it's already running). Prebuild toolchain allow to workaround bugs from old or new building system to produce the result in the form of an .iso,an .img, ... Goals are differents, tools are differents.
