> Is there any reason LFS does not include WGET?

I think so.  wget is just the tip of an iceberg.  I do/would not let ANY (B)LFS 
system have any network connection until it was suitably prepared, 
"armored-up".  So IPTABLES would have to come first, then my firewall, neither 
of which are part of LFS.  

I spend the extra time before running the first things in Ch. 4 to plan out 
what I'm going to want, packages and versions, and make my build scripts.  I 
download those immediately, while I'm protected by my host system.  Then when I 
finish LFS, I begin BLFS with everything I need.  Everything is stand-alone 
until I have about 20 packages installed.  Generally far beyond.
