d distro is installed, you should have no trouble using
that system (with its graphical interface) as a host (instead of LFS
LiveCD) for your LFS installation. Then you can follow the LFS
instructions in a graphical web browser and copy-and-paste to your
delight in a terminal emulator window.

The documentation says that the
CD includes SSH server and
client. I'm not sure if it is enabled
and I don't know how to enable
it. PuTTY says "Network error:
Connection refused". The port
is 22, the connection type is
SSH, and the Host Name is the
IP Address.

SSH needs a client and a server. Does the LFS LiveCD system include
some ssh service? Is that service ena
Is there any special configuration, either on the

That's because it doesn't use xterm.
You can try the utf8-r1 CD, which uses XFCE Terminal instead of xterm.
