Yes, I have the LFS-6.0 livecd here. It worked to a point, but I kept
failing tests. I couldn't leave it, and I couldn't stay with it. jhalfs
checked out of svn seems to go ok. Glibc crapped out on the localedef
thing in HLFS, so I have cooked a lowsecurity kernel and I'll go in to
bat with that, once I delete all this email I've just received.
