Tips to make it easier

Package and Patches Setup

These are the software you will need for your distro. I made them into a korn shell script so you can download them faster. This is for LFS 6.5.
 

Run this script package_download.sh to download all the packges you need. Make sure you keep them all in the same directory.
 

Run this command to know that you have all the packages. You should have 62 packages

ls -l | wc -l
62
 

Run this script patches_download.sh to download all the patches you will need. Keep them in the same folder as the packages.

Setting up the /etc/profile

When setting up this file it asks you to put this code in the file

export LANG=<LL>_<CC>.<charmap><@modifiers>

that is a sample and you should put in something like this

export LANG=<en>_<GB>.<ISO-8859-1><@euro>

Grub Setup

 When at the grub stage. It will ask you to setup the root partition. I had my LFS on the partition sda3 so the command I used to setup the partition in grub was:

root  (hd0,2)

hd0,0 would of been my host partition which was on sda1.

then I did:

setup (hd0)
