I remember seeing frequent questions on using the livecd os on the hard
drive, by moving it over on the livecd list. [ and the requirements for
getting the process to do so ]
The moving a built lfs os from one system to another being a completey
different issue, and shouldn't need much explanation, since it is pretty
much what is happening with the live-install method used by most livecd
based distros.
[ 20 minute install of a distro, with KDE and tons of bloat just seems
wrong somehow ;) ]
