Here is a procedure that I used to install the LFS 6.1 Live CD to my hard drive. Use it at your own risk. The installed size is about 1.6 GB. You can delete the /sources directory and a file in / named .root.sqfs (or something similar) and reduce the size to about 1.3 GB.
1. Prepare a partition on your hard drive for LFS Live CD installation. Or maybe you want to use the whole hard drive. Format and install the file system of your choice. I used ext3.
2. Also prepare a swap partition. I used a swap equal in size to my RAM.
3. Boot the LFS Live CD. Configure your network so that you can connect to the Internet.
4. Mount the partition you want for your LFS Live CD hard drive installation
on /mnt. I used the following command.
# mount /dev/hda4 /mnt
5. Copy the system to your mounted partition. I used the following procedure.
# tar -C / -l -cpvf - . | tar -C /mnt -xpf -
6. Download a kernel source tar ball from kernel.org and put it in /mnt/usr/src. I used kernel 2.6.13.2. Make sure the kernel is in /usr/src of your new system, not in /usr/src of the Live CD.
7. chroot into your new system.
# chroot /mnt
8. Install the LFS bootscripts. I used the following procedure.
# cp /sources/lfs-bootscripts-3.2.1.tar.bz2 /usr/src/
# cd /usr/src
# tar -xvjf lfs-bootscripts-3.2.1.tar.bz2
# cd lfs-bootscripts-3.2.1
# make
# make install
9. Edit /etc/fstab. You need to delete references to union file system and add normal entries for a hard drive installation. The first two lines in my /etc/fstab are:
/dev/hda4 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
10. Install the new kernel. I used the following procedure.
# cd /usr/src
# tar -xvjf linux-2.6.13.2.tar.bz2
# cd linux-2.6.13.2
# make mrproper
# make menuconfig (Set all configuration options that you need or want.)
# make
# make modules
# make modules_install
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/lfskernel-2.6.13.2
# cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.13.2
# cp .config /boot/config-2.6.13.2
11. Edit the bootloader of your choice for your new LFS Live CD system. I had another Linux system on my hard drive, so I added an entry to my existing /etc/lilo.conf as follows.
image=/mnt/hda4/boot/lfskernel-2.6.13.2
vga=791
label=LFS-LiveCD
root=/dev/hda4
read-only
12. Boot into your new hard drive installation of the LFS 6.1 Live CD and enjoy.
Good luck, jimbo

Linux Live Cd Free Download
Izotope neutron 2 mac download. Jul 13, 2017 For this live environment, a CD or DVD will work, but it will be woefully slow, and noisy while reading the disc. By creating a Linux installation USB, we gain not only in speed but on some distributions we can have the so-called 'persistence.'
