I think you'll be able to use X environment from the liveCD in your P II. The liveCD will boot in a text console and you have to type "startx" to go with X. And I think it's worth to install BLFS on a P II. Perhaps it will compile things a bit slowly... but do you care so much? > > I understand there's no way to make a hard disk install on the LiveCD, but > what about storing config files (like xorg.conf) on a floppy or USB stick? > After the creation of your partition (one of the things you will do first, in chapter 2.3) you will be able to save your files in some directory there.
