Ah! I read Tushar to mean: "Don't ask questions on BLFS-support unless you have built LFS according to the book!". I see now the alternative interpretation. Point taken. As an aside: I think that experimentation with the book(s) is 'A Good Thing (tm)', and even using the support lists to ask for help in such circumstances is OK, **provided** the experiment is declared. Regular respondents can chose to ignore such requests, but are ill advised, I think, to publically condemn it just on those grounds.
