Hi Steve, I'm still more of a Linux guru-in-training, so forgive me if I am vague or even incorrect. IIRC, the LFS book gives you the instructions to create a Linux environment once you have booted into Linux. I think it regards the LFS LiveCD as a separate project. I normally do create a $LFS/sources folder and copy the LiveCD's packages there. If you really want to pare things down when you're done, you can always go back and delete the sources folder, or you could just tarball it to save space, and that way you can easily go back to exactly what you had, should you ever need to. I believe you could even leave the sources on the LiveCD, and just tar xvf <source> -C/mnt/lfs/sources or something similar... Let me know if this is the answer you were looking for.
