I know I'm piling on to this late. And I know from other threads that yjy4321 has moved on from this point. Nevertheless I wanted to type a few additional words for the record and future readers to say that it is sort of standard operating procedure for most people around here to install first in a new LFS system the BLFS packages GPM, Wget, and Lynx. With those three, one can read the book, copy & paste with a mouse cursor from the book to another tty console, and download packages with the links and scripts in the book (if your LFS's static IP connection is working). In other words, everything one needs to be able to do to start building a BLFS system from within an independent LFS system. It's all in Chapter 9 of the book (an easy one to overlook).
For those not used to text-based browsers such as Lynx, a short learning and adjustment period is required. It's a little like learning vi as a text editor... once a few basic maneuvers are acquired, one can do most everything needed. Anyway, my usual routine is to use those things installed first to set up the firewall and then go straight for X, Fluxbox, and a file manager. Then on and on from there.
