Hi,

Sorry for the top posting yet again but my screen reader will not let me bottom 
post.

If you add alsa to it just for the command line we could build Speakup.

A new "offical" CD would be great but should not introduce too much changes in 
the LFS system. On my wishlist would be that the CD could be built from a 
clean, fresh compiled LFS, adding some additional BLFS packages like

networking
  dhcpcd, wget, openssl, openssh (as daemon, not only the client),
  rpcbind, nfs-{utils,client}, wpa-supplicant, wireless-tools

development
  (all whats needed for LFS), cvs, subversion, git, jhalfs

editors
  nano, vim, joe

A graphical env is cool and usefull but it needs not to be full blown with 
every characterset existing on that earth and every language supported. English 
is the common base, and if there is an option to set the keyboard layout then 
its fine. For version 1.0, its not required at all and the question is, should 
the CD be another SystemRescueCD or will we have a working CD built in the "LFS 
way" ?

Before the CD exists, it would be very interesting to see a "How to build a 
Live-CD". If a user finally can put the bricks together and (re)build the CD, 
than it's no longer a very important question which packages are included. The 
user her/himself can remaster it on their own.
Working thru the book is telling the user how things work. I that all has been 
understood, many users starts to add additional packages like dhcp clients or 
such in their "chapter-6" before they are going to boot. The added packages are 
not documented in the LFS book (maybe in the BLFS book they are) but the 
important thing is that the user knows how to deal with them.
I dream of something like that for the CD. When the official CD is not 
sufficient for me, I'll find a documentation how the CD is made and can easily 
(more or less) rebuild the CD to my taste.

Long text short: a CD-book not a CD-image ;-)
