That's exactly what I am against. LiveCD users create 90% of support requests. 
Noobs (not to be confused with newbs) should be filtered out, e.g., by telling 
them to install and configure a real distro.

Besides, the LFS LiveCD has no real technical benefits as a host, except that 
it 
is preconfigured and already contains the packages - but why not download them 
separately in a town with a broadband connection, put onto a flash drive, and 
use with your current Linux distro?

In short, LFS website misadvertises the LiveCD as a "well-tested platform" 
(nwebs confuse this with the "best platform"), while if one has a distro 
installed, it should work just as well!
