Dear Ken, I need the new distro from you suggestion ONLY, JUST for the building of LFS, no for other works/jobs! No problem, if it not have wifi-possibility or others. I saved the full LFS and BLFS books to my new-used partition, I will work from its. And I was downloaded all needed packages, of course. I will install the new host distro, and build LFS. If I would like work/play any other, then reboot to my Sabayon. Therefore, I no need full-featured desktop environment. Just a lightweight WM with a browser to read the LFS book, mc (not musthaved, but I like it) and nothing else, just I should can build my LFS. I need the host distro just temporarily, ad interim. Which distro you do use nowadays for build you LFS system?
Or, it is would be much easyer to my, that if you have a full temporary system as written in the LFS book, - finished to the 5.35 chapter - then you pack it to a tar.bz2 file, and send me its download link. I download it, unpack it to my partition, change ownership, and begin at this chapter I continue the building of my own LFS system, with chroot and others. This is a little bit would be alike to the Gentoo, from stage3, I think.
