LFS 4.1 Pre-Installation Questions

[MorphiusFaydal]

ok, im about to embark on a Linux From Scratch install... and before i do... i have a couple of questions..

1) Can I install LFS from Knoppix - Live CD?

2) Can I stop in the middle of install and come back and finish it later? Like stop between packages due to parental anoyances?

3) I have all the packages downloaded and ready to be burned onto a CD... should I unpack them first and then burn them, or should I burn them and then unpack to the new linux partition?

any help would be appreciated.

thanks in advance..

1. I have no idea.

2. I doubt anyone would be able to complete LFS in one session, so you must be able to stop and continue at another time.

3. I guess that is up to you though if I was building LFS, I would unpack the packages on the HD as they need to be there anyways for compiling.
