I am n00by in BLFS, so do not laugh ( much ) if my question is stoopid...
Is it possible, after creating a customized linux Distro ( (B)LFS ) to create an installable version of it...? an iso to be burned into a CD or DVD...?
Second, If I annoyed anybody, it was not my intent to do it, so, if i annoyed you, i am sorry for that,
Third, If i write like this it is ment to be funny, not so serve as any form of characterization of my age or mental development status, in Japan we refer to this form of expression as kawaii, meaning cute, cool, funny, but by no means less repectfull or serious.

EDIT: Well back to topic How does one make this, creating an installable BLFS...?
But, if you patch your kernel,etc for aufs,squashfs,lzma and use Linux Live Scripts on it
it will create a distro from your installed system that runs just like Slax, with persistency,etc off cd/usb/hdd
what kernel version does your BLFS install run??
I am currently compiling slack 12.2's 2.6.27.31 kernel and patching
LinuxLiveScripts has premade 2.6.27.27 kernel too
tell me what kernel your runinng
EDIT:
As for installing it
you would need to "make" a install script/py,etc
or modify someone elses
like Vector's Lite Live Final, which is kinda made with LinuxLiveScritps but they added stuff
Vector Lite Live lets you remaster your installed system
I have not yet begun my adventures in (B)LFS, I am learning, watching forum, reading... as soon as i find courage, and time, to start creating a BLFS, i will tell you.
About Slack I run the good'ol 2.6.29.6 in one machine and 2.6.32.7 in another...~
Is it really difficult to deploy/create a (B)LFS...?
There was this Geisha, in the 30s-40s, wartime, portrayed in a movie called "Memoirs of a Geisha" as Nitta Sayuri, she came to be the most renowned Geisha of Tokyo at her time...
...It is said that she was so hot and beautiful that with one single glance she would stop anyone walking by...
... her look was like... remember the traction beam of Death Star in star wars...? no escape...

hahahah....was just curious how your build has been going. it would seem that both of you are much more advanced than i am; however, i have been considering building my own install as well. was just wondering if the performance gain was that great. also, in regards to tracking down deps for programs...its alot of work once you go out on your own with a custom build isnt it?
