Yes I know, but in my idea making it persistance does not have any practical
advantage, instead via booting always from the live cd we can save at least one
partition and also at final, we will not have to merge grub config for both
host and lfs system, instead we will have only one hard drive boot solution! In
general we will be more independant in my idea :)
