Well that's a shame. I'd really like to be able to download whatever packages I
need, put them on a partion reachable with my LFS system along with BLFS then
boot into LFS and start working on BLFS without making any making any major
changes to my LFS system first.
I don't really understand why BLFS is not available in info format so you can
easily read it in a fresh LFS
:-/
I'm going to dig around on google and see if I can find some conversion tool
that can produce info or Texinfo pages from XML, HTML or even PDF (not very
likely). As a last resort I'll see about creating a Python script to do the job.
