Re: Recommended LiveCD?
The mouse works fine if you disable that feature (either the absolute
pointing device or the mouse pointer integration) in VirtualBox,
That feature wasn't documented very well even in VirtualBox's own VM
Settings dialog it isn't completely clear what it does I discovered this by
experimenting with it.
I guess the issues stem from the LFS LiveCD being outdated, if it will be
updated I guess the issues will disappear.

I've used QEMU to build LFS, and didn't experience any problem
with the mouse.

In what sense is it outdated? Does the current build require
something not on the LFS LiveCD?
If not, then unless the LiveCD just won't boot on your machine
for some reason, I see no reason not to use it.
Knoppix is one I would try, but I'd try the LFS LiveCD first.

The kernel on the LFS LiveCD is rather old and definitely doesn't boot
either my laptop or my desktop that I used to do build testing. Also
it still refers to ide devices as hdx# instead of sdx#. (It also does
this for some SATA controllers.)
Probably needs an update. I doubt it will matter too much if it isn't updated.
