Hum, if you choose to build the cd without X, we loose
the advantage of
multi windows (impossible then to see the LFS book and
the terminal used
to build LFS in the same time for example). In a world
where most people
come from graphical environment, it could be a
problem... But the use of
alfs could reduce the problem...

Very good idea, but have you enough time to make that.
I'm very
interesting by this idea and if you want help in this
way, I'm could be
ok...
