Oh yes, Ubuntu would surely work as a host system. In fact I have compiled LFS6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 also in Ubuntu. I have also compiled LFS6.3 in kubuntu. The default installation however wont be enough. The following packages are needed in Ubuntu default installation to be a proper host system. I actually dont remember them but the following command would do the trick(And yes, you need to be connected to the internet)
sudo apt-get install g++ sudo apt-get install g77 sudo apt-get install bison sudo apt-get install gawk sudo apt-get install texinfo This should be enough I guess. All the best! Chandrakant
