Yes, we at the LiveCD team know of the problem and are working to get
it resolved. If you want to use the LiveCD right now, you will need
to use a version 6.2-pre1/2/3 and download the packages for the LFS
version you are building and either put it on a USB stick or a second
CD. Or skip the LiveCD, and use the host you already have installed.
Sorry.

After the lfslivecd-x86-6.1.1-3 failures, I was able to get a 6,2-pre3
burned and it is booting on the laptop!
I note that it seems to have later sources on it.
Straight boot had problems so went to:
linux noapic pci=noacpi vga=789 and I get a boot with no apparent
problems.
I am familiarizing myself with the setup.
XFCE is interesting, reminds me of Gnome except I can actually use it!
Resolution is too big though. Messed with my eyes too!
Editing "modes" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to "800x600" does not seem to
help. It has generic monitor listed , but I see now in my redhat setup
I have "Generic Laptop Display Panel 800x600" listed. I'll try that next.
I just thought I'd drop a mention this version of the livecd working on
this old box.
Back to reading, Thanks, Howard
