LFS Instructions are not up-to-date or well-maintained lately .... Plus, most LFS installs will be abandoned sooner or later after the tutorial ends anyways .... I would recommend the uninitiated to start with Gentoo/Funtoo install for similar experience (albeit not as low-level as LFS would be). The up-side here is that they are real up-to-date / well-maintained distros, which one would end up using after the install experience ....
