You can either run it live or installed to your hard disk - if you run it live, you will lose any changes you make to the host system (such as installing required packages, etc) Since Fedora\Ubuntu\et al are intended to be desktop systems, they sometimes come without components needed to build LFS, or use different versions of the packages (mawk instead of gawk, etc) so you will need to use the hosts package manager to install any missing components - use the Host Requirements script in section 1 to determine what is installed in your host system, Note you can use the SLAX distribution, which is based on the original LFS Live CD, and contains an updated toolchain that should be able to build LFS without issue (untested, but on my list to do). You can also search the LFS mailing lists - from the July LiveCD mailing list, someone has apparently already updated the LiveCD 2011/7/12 <parttor at gmail.com>: > 2011/5/23 <parttor at gmail.com>: >> 2011/5/22 Jeremy Huntwork <jhuntwork at linuxfromscratch.org>: >>> On 5/21/11 8:53 PM, parttor at gmail.com wrote: >>>> I've created the livecd few weeks before. >>>> http://yesit.tk/livecd.html > I've updated it to 2011-0709 > kernel 2.6.39.3 > gcc 4.6.1 > glibc 2.14 now 2011-0723 released with 3.0 kernel >>> >>> Nice.
