http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/#netiquette First of all you should not top post, and you should trim you message You can use other distros as host, but there can be problems due to patches, use of gcc4, etc (for example it has been said that FC4 was a really bad host) . The easiest way, if you can, is to use the lfs LiveCD. It fullfils the requirements, and already contains all the packages related to a version of the book.
