    21   <para>As an alternative to installing an entire separate distribution
    22   onto your machine, you may wish to use the Linux From Scratch LiveCD.
    23   This CD works well as a host system, providing all the tools you need to
    24   successfully follow the instructions in this book. It does also
    25   contain source packages and patches for the LFS book, and a copy of the LFS
    26   book, but not the needed packages or book for CLFS. You can still use the
    27   CD for building CLFS, but you will need to download the packages, patches
    28   and book separately. You can also look at
    29   <ulink url="&hints-root;Remastering_the_LFS_LiveCD"/>
    30   for infomation on building your own CD, replacing the LFS packages and book
    31   with those for CLFS. Once you have the CD, no network connection or
    32   additional downloads are necessary. For more information about the LFS
    33   LiveCD or to download a copy, visit <ulink url="&livecd-root;"/>.</para>
     21  <para>As an alternative to installing an entire separate distribution onto
     22  your machine, you may wish to use a livecd. Most distributions provide
     23  a livecd, which provides an environment to which you can add the required
     24  tools onto, allowing you to
     25  successfully follow the instructions in this book. Remember that if you
     26  reboot the livecd you will need to reconfigure the host environment before
     27  continuing with your build.</para>
