The most up-to-date release of the LiveCD I've yet found is 6.3, r.2160.
I will definitely be giving the new book a looking at, though. So I guess, from what you've said above, that I get to go back and re-do most (if not all) of the toolchain? Hey, it's about learning how, anyway, isn't it? Eventually, I want to use PCLinuxOS (a Texan distro, by the way) as the base for an actual "production" LFS system - basically I want to know how to field-strip a Linux distribution and put it back together. Maybe learning this will help prepare me to contribute back to a distro of choice? Thanks for the insights. I think I'm going to start over from the beginning and see if any of this makes better sense the second time around.
