I want to make a live CD based on the LFS 8.0 documentation. I have made my tool chain (completed chapter 5) and I am starting to build the packages for the final system.
I don't want to compile any packages inside the actual LiveCD, since I want my LiveCD to be very lightweight. To add packages to the LiveCD, I would compile them in my host environment (using my toolchain) and make install to the root of my LiveCD filesystem. I do want to have a very minimal GUI to run a basic webcam package. Am I correct that I don't need to install any of the packages in Chapter 6 of the LFS documentation? Except for maybe Linux headers and GlibC because of packages relying on their libraries, or do I not even need those? I am under the impression that when I run make and make install that it puts all the libraries I need in the directories so I wouldn't need these packages that LFS is specifying in chapter 6, since I don't intend to compile packages directly within the LiveCD OS. Please let me know if I am on the right track here, or if what I am saying is wrong.
