We prefer to keep LFS manageable.  The LFS PDF is 336 pages and is
designed to be followed sequentially.

I did a recent PDF render of BLFS and it was 2216 pages.  It
is definitely not designed to be followed sequentially.  Specifically,
I think only (some) editors build everything in BLFS.

There really is no way for a link in a static html page to know whether to
go to a website or a local system.  As long as the network is working,
the website is the better option.
