Well, although I really like Slack 10.2 as an everyday distro, I'm not particularly anal about using it as a host system. After reading various messages in the mailing list archives, I reckon the choice of a host system is the first crucial decision, since some distributions seem to be a problem here. What I'd like eventually is a basic One-CD-distro that builds LFS out of the box. I know that there is a LiveCD, but I'll often reboot during breaks to do 30 minutes or an hour of LFS there and then, and I think a host system installed on hard disk would come in more handy than a LiveCD where I have to reconfigure xorg.conf after every reboot. (Or can the LiveCD be installed on a hard disk?) Besides, I reckon a LiveCD eats up some resources, at least RAM. Correct me if I'm wrong here. Precious resources needed for compiling. Now I wonder how Debian Sarge qualifies as host distro for LFS 6.1.1.. Takes 10 to 15 minutes to install and configure on a modern system, plus I already have the CDs. (Please don't say Ubuntu. Ubuntu hates my hardware, and I hate Ubuntu/o|) Anyone has experience with that?
