I see that the latest book version online is 6.2, so I wouldn't have 
thought
that 6.0 was 'very' old. It took me so long to download all of the files
that I don't want to have to go through that again! Can you recommend
a suitable host? I see suse 9.2 professional available on amazon for
£6.96. Would that be a suitable distro?

Richard, it sounds like you have a problem of a slow Internet connection :-(
Probably your best bet would be to try to get hold of the LFS 6.2 live CD.
Not only is it a bootable host distro suitable for building LFS, but also
contains all the source packages and patches need to build 6.2--nothing
further to download.  The only problem is the Live CD itself is only 
available
via download AFAIK (~500MB).  Can't you get a mate, colleague, cousin,...
with a faster Internet to download and burn it on a CD for you?

Brandon.

Got sorted thanks you. Had the live CD with the book and I'm now using 
it(I didn't realise what it was!). I'm further ahead than I previously was 
already
in a fraction of the time. Not a single problem.(Kind of regret not doing it 
the other way as I felt I was learning a lot trying to troubleshoot problems!)

Thanks

Richard

Followed book step by step (to the letter I think!)  and
didn't come across instructions to install a patch.

That host system is too new to build that old version of LFS. You need 
to either find an older distro to use as a host, or build the latest 
stable LFS version.
