I would highly recommend that we stay away from lfs based systems,
and build our isos using sourcemage, it would be like installing gentoo
and building an smgl iso with it. There is currently a lot of good
stuff in //sgl/cauldron and the like for building isos and so forth,
theres currently both ppc and x86 isos so one can just install a
sourcemage ppc system and go from there using sorcery and some of hamish's
other scripts that work around the current dificiencys in sorcery.
