That was what I had thought, but I couldn't remember...
it is hard to do so with the unknown future RedHat extensions in mind,
but it either has to be done or too-new hosts should be blacklisted
(thus making LFS live CD the only officially supported host - but that's
against the spirit of LFS).
To some extent, I agree with your suggestion here, Alexander. Since FC
came out, there's been several run-ins with LFS. I think, to a large
extent, simply because FC is too bleeding-edge. And though LFS trunk
tries to stay up-to-speed, it takes longer for us to successfully
incorporate new technology than it does for a project like FC to produce
and release (for several reasons). So, at the least, I think it might
be a good idea to discourage using the latest version of FC somewhere in
the book.
