LFS build seems be multi-pass. You construct temporary LFS tools that are used to compile the final LFS system. By the time the final LFS passes are done, I think that you are building with pretty good tools. This is just a wild oppinion, however, I may be missing something that others aren't

Updating the Live CD to use the sources and instructions for 6.5 "should" be fairly easy. Updating the running OS on the Live CD is another story... I would think that all that one needs to do to update the instructions and sources on the Live CD would be to: 1) save the ISO somwhere 2) delete t

directory. To ensure there is no problem with your autotools setup, you can look in this file for the "AC_CONFIG_HEADERS" definition. If it is not there, there is a problem. Don't look for this definition before you run aclocal because the file was originally created by the kde folks; therefore, it will be there.
