Hi,
I would prefer your first suggestion. I know that the
liveCD project is considered as "dead", but I also think
that many users who build LFS (especially first-time users)
will try to use the liveCD as host system.
Quite a few users using the CD will not check the host system
requirements, leading to errors when trying to build GMP.
So I think we should either build M4 in the book or, if we add
it to the host system requirements, add a note that the liveCD
is outdated and that people should check the host system
requirements even if using the CD.
Well, maybe we should add that note in either case, or is
it already present and I just oversaw it?
