But if I'm getting and building all the packages on the host and installing them on LFS, why would LFS need wget, etc. Im assuming LFS would only need the basic stuff such as glibc and Linux headers and coreutils and bash and their dependencies. I wouldn't expect minimal systems like tinycore or http://minimal.linux-bg.org systems using busybox to require all those packages in chapter 6, unless they intended to compile packages and download them and install all right on the system.
