I see that the latest book version online is 6.2, so I wouldn't have
thought
that 6.0 was 'very' old. It took me so long to download all of the files
that I don't want to have to go through that again! Can you recommend
a suitable host? I see suse 9.2 professional available on amazon for
£6.96. Would that be a suitable distro?
Richard, it sounds like you have a problem of a slow Internet connection :-(
Probably your best bet would be to try to get hold of the LFS 6.2 live CD.
Not only is it a bootable host distro suitable for building LFS, but also
contains all the source packages and patches need to build 6.2--nothing
further to download. The only problem is the Live CD itself is only
available
via download AFAIK (~500MB). Can't you get a mate, colleague, cousin,...
with a faster Internet to download and burn it on a CD for you?
Brandon.
