I might suggest trying gentoo linux or at least look at the installation instructions. Using mke2fs does not remove your partitions it formats them to the desired file system and as for using a ssd drive up it might be better to use a standard drive for now until you can setup an environment that allows you to do some of the compiling in temp ram file systems to cut down on the rewrites on the ssd drive. And as for documentation the web is full of I formation I relied on it when I first built LFS but I also had several years of experience installing gentoo and that helped a lot.
