2023	LiveCD is not available	alexander@…	lfs-book@…	"Chapter 1.1 says:

 As an alternative to installing a separate distribution onto your machine, you may wish to use the Linux From Scratch LiveCD. The CD works well as a host system, providing all the tools you need to successfully follow the instructions in this book. Additionally, it contains all the source packages, patches and a copy of this book. So once you have the CD, no network connection or additional downloads are necessary. For more information about the LFS LiveCD or to download a copy, visit http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/livecd/.

However, the latest SVN build of the LiveCD is too bad for all owners of Intel motherboards (relevant modules: piix, ata-piix): either does not boot, or does not see SATA hard drives. The problem is in the kernel (caused by not-so-optional switch to libata as an alternative to old IDE drivers) and is not fixable without breaking laptops because they sometimes have disks with host-protected area (apparently not supported by libata). Until this is sorted out, the book should not recommend the Official LFS LiveCD. However, I have no time to fix it and not enough testers with the relevant hardware. I am not even sure if the 6.3 version of the CD will be released at all.

Please comment out the paragraph quoted above."	task	closed	normal		Book	SVN	major	fixed
