My problems with LFS are: 1. The documentation is always in flux. You may get lucky and it's accurate, or you may not, and spend hours looking for tarballs that no longer exist online, or worse find them and they are no longer compatible with LFS - They don't host the required source archives along with the LFS book, and a lot of links to parts you need end up going nowhere. 2. As a step-by-step it does do what it says on the tin, but as a learning tool, there's a lot missing. When I was less knowledgeable about Linux I found myself following the LFS book with little to no idea about what I was actually doing and why. It would say things like 'chroot in the build folder' without actually explaining why, and what chroot actually did. 3. The whole thing can fail at any point, leaving you with a broken build, that more often than not, you'd have to wipe and start over. As most of the steps involve compiling, that's a lot of lost hours.
