Dual-Core isn't that much a problem - its more than the host system is a 64bit one and you're trying to do 32bit LFS - but here i'm not quite sure if i'm right. Maybe someone who is familiar with 32/64 bit issues can jump in here. > > Another one, maybe a better solution : can I use a LFS liveCD to install > the base system ?

Should work fine. I bootstrapped my LFSs on a Core2Duo-T5600 in a Thinkpad from the LiveCD and that worked quite well.
