when i was building lfs 6.3 using live cd , on that livecd, the book which was there by default had skipped the grub , i just matched the lfs 6.3 book and the book which was there by default the grub was skipped
PS: None of the LFS versions come with a GUI. LFS is a very basic linux installation that needs to be expanded to make it "workable" (that's what the BLFS project is all about).

It might be a better idea if you ask the maker (xinglp), s/he knows all the ins and outs and is thus better equipped to help you with issue's related to this.

Maybe you need to be patient. The thread isn't that old and xinglp is an active member.

Nope, I don't.
You mention that you are dying to use it, but what are you actually planning on doing with it? As I mentioned before (post #36) LFS itself isn't very useful, only after doing parts of the BLFS project it becomes a useful system.
One can look at LFS in 2 ways:
1) A learning experience. Most of the people in this category will not bother with BLFS, they are interested in how Linux works.
2) Building a lean and mean Linux system. LFS needs to be completely done and those parts that are specific for ones needs from the BLFS project must be done (and maybe some extra packages not present in either LFS or BLFS).
@druuna
Thank you for replying every questions ,
Actually i want to check how LFS works then i'll implement BLFS that's why i asked weather i can do BLFS part on that LFS or not.
