The only problem was that Slax did not have IP6 support which I simply worked around this by hacking the package's test-config file where the package needed IP6 to pass tests. In addition, Slax has almost new GCC, GLibc, kernel and generally the toolchain by default! I can help you if you had problems to doing LFS with Slax! Sincerely Yours, Yasser.
