Sorry to "spam" the board as it were but I thought it might be usefull
to mention. Indeed, this has probably already been mentioned a few times
I'm sure.
If you setup a package manager right after the tool chain, like I do,
ocassionally you'll run into a few packages that won't conform to the
standard DESTDIR/prefix switch... This leaves you tearing apart
Makefiles, seding and patching until you start to get annoyed. Making
packages takes more time than a simple "make install" and wasting time
on Makefiles tends to agrivate me.
I just stumbled upon DIY linux on the web. It looks just like LFS only
with focus on Package Management aparently. Greg Schafer sounds VERY
familiar and he may even be a part of the LFS team.

If you run into a troublesome package that only wants to install to the
system, scroll down the page until you hit the package in question and
take a look at how to do it....
What a time saver.... :-)
I almost wish this web site was mentioned in the LFS book when it
briefly touches on Package Management.... Would have saved me alot of
time when I built LFS 5.1.....
Cheers.
