That's a very good point. Except that I want to start creating pacman packages
for everything new I add to the system and as I haven't done this before it
would require some experimentation. It would also have to be done as root
because I have not set up any users, the bash configuration files, etc. Why?
Because I can't read BLFS while running LFS. You are right, creating scripts
will be very tedious and time consuming. But for a newbie it's also less risky.
