Steps for completing BLFS quickly - please give advice
 
I completed my LFS-6.7 installation and now I want to complete BLFS asap as it is my Final Year Engineering project and the final submission dates are near. There is a lot of documentation provided in the BLFS-6.3 book and I don't have enough time to go through all of it. So please suggest me quick steps to build mainly a GUI based Multimedia system with networking support and whatever you want to suggest that would look attractive and fetch me good marks :)

Kindly tell me the chapters which are compulsory to read in the BLFS book and the chapters needed for the above mentioned services. GUI is most important amongst them.

You would need to complete chapters 1-3. Do all of chapter 24 to get X. Pick a window manager or desktop environment and do all of the appropriate chapter (e.g., all of chapter 33 for Gnome). Multimedia will depend on the applications you want to use. As far as networking, you should already have that as part of LFS.

If you're attending an ABET accredited university, or equivalent if you're not in the United States, you're probably not going to get good marks for installing LFS/BLFS as a final engineering project (assuming that's all you've done). All you've really demonstrated is an ability to follow directions. That's not the purpose of the final project in engineering. You're supposed to actually solve a problem.

Thanx very much for your help and advice. Indeed it was a valuable one :)
And sir we'll be given a problem based on BLFS after we've completed building it and the real evaluation would be based on that task :)
Thank you once again :)
