Cool!

But don't make it a hint, make it part of the book. :-)



Ideally, yes, it should be in the book. However, if for some reason that's unfeasable, because of limitations in the XML or whatever the case may be, then my feeling is it could be easily written up as a hint format - it'd probably only be a 2 paragraph hint, something like:

If you're building for a single machine, instead of rebooting as the book suggests, skip building packages a,b,c,d, and when instructed to reboot, execute the following command instead:

chroot $LFS blah blah blah.

A hint should be as simple as that - eliminate any packages from the initial tools that won't be needed because of the chroot, and instead of rebooting, chroot.
