I did it a few years ago. I got a working system but it wasn't easy. Some packages were missing but that's not really LFS's fault if upstream doesn't keep old source tarballs around. I was able to find everything by searching for the MD5 sum though. The hardest part was the kernel configuration. LFS doesn't really give any instructions for it - you need to figure it out on your own. It took lots of trial and error to get all hardware working. If I remember correctly my network card's driver was out-of-kernel and I had to compile it separately. It also takes a really long time to compile everything. Unix is supposed to be simple but GNU's Not Unix.
