Probably yes, but after some fixes. 1) "It only contains older versions of the source packages, patches, and this book" - overly optimistic. The -nosrc and -min versions don't contain any sources or patches (but they do contain the old book). 2) The text gives the LFS LiveCD unustified preference WRT other LiveCDs. Basically, I want the book to say "if you don't to install a distribution, use a LiveCD that qualifies as a host distribution. Here are some examples: ..., ..., old LFS LiveCD", not "if you don't want to install a distribution, try LFS LiveCD". -- Alexander E.
