I've been thinking. Please! Please! Stop laughing. It's more
dangerous than funny. :-)
I've just succeeded building LFS, using LiveCD as my host system, on my
laptop and now am forging ahead. When I put {,B}LFS on my PC I printed
the sections of the book I was using until I got Xorg, Firefox and
Thunderbird up and running. Then I just had a copy of the book open and
downloaded the packages as I needed them.
As I was building LFS, I became quite dependent on the ability to both
copy and paste from the book into the xterminal and read as I built. If
one considers a 7 Gig partition limiting, I also can't be as profligate
in my packages as I was on the PC.
Anyway, I thought of using the LiveCD and the LFS chroot environment for
BLFS until I had enough on the system to divorce from the LiveCD. I've
found plenty of info on how to build a livecd from BLFS, but nothing
going the other way. Are there any clues, gotchas, caveats, advantages,
disadvantages or anything else that anyone may want to share?
If this is a "first time," (and I can't believe that no one has tried it
yet) I'll post with my {,un}successes.
Dan
