Why on earth would one build LFS and not continue with at least *some* 
of BLFS? You would be able to do nothing with that type of build.

Actually, you are wrong about that. You should read and understand each 
command. The *understand* part is crucial. Then you should cut and 
paste. The learning comes from understanding the syntax of the commands 
and the purpose of each command, not from mundane error-prone typing.
