I was just reading the archives for this list to get a feel for the state of the project.
My first lfs build was on a Pentium 200Mhz system using dialup as we didn't have broadband in this area . It took me about a month to get a bootable system. I tried again with a Pentium2 and it went a little faster and resulted in a nice stable linux that I used for a year or so. The live-cd looked promising, so I waited for a Christmas visit to a relative that had just had the fiber-optic service installed and got the iso image.To my amazememt ,it downloaded in about 5 minutes. The first thing I did on return home was to sign a petitiion to get broadband in this area. I never did do a regular install with the cd . I used the jhalfs install and that was what I used for a couple of years.I just tried a regular lfs-dev build and I used a cd-jhalfs build as the host. The jhalfs-builds always worked well for me and produced a stable build that I could fatten with blfs, plus having a nice rescue disk when I wrote over the mbr , which was pretty frequently because I like to try out and play with a wide variety of os's. The short of it is that I have really enjoyed using the live-cd and like to see it the project continue and be updated and would like to assist in any way my humble skills allowed.
