Hi,

Are there two modes on the LiveCD, e. g. console vs. graphical?
The liveCD doesnt come with a GUI. It just boots a minimal system that
enables you to build LFS. If you want a liveCD Linux distro, take a look
at knoppix, or one of the mini distros that run off a liveCD like puppy
Linux, or DSL. Those are more suitable to run on your old box.

The liveCD has Xorg and XFCE and everything else you need to build a new
LFS from.
Read the README file, configure your xorg.conf (although it works just
fine on my machine without any configuration changes) and then open a
couple of xterms to get going... If Firefox is slow on your old
hardware, try lynx. It's quick and runs hapilly in an xterm so you can
cut and paste easily.
It isn't meant as a "distro" but to enable the building of LFS from a
"sane" environment.
It is an excellent tool :-)
