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.
Problem with that is LFS does setup a network connection.
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.
Still should have a convenient method to get all those to the host you
are building on.
