I was checking out Hackaday (one of my favorite sites)
and found this http://blog.lxde.org/?p=514
and looked it over, its pretty cool that they took a debian system and brought it down under 400MB, which is pretty amazing, but its still not small enough for me, so i will still be compiling my lfs system but i am going to try out this new distro, so look later for a quick review
update- I might have to wait till I get home, my proxy is telling me no route to host, may be due to Hackaday syndrom, I will try later

In chapter 6.4 in the stable release of LFS you need to chroot into your build environment, and I have to keep rebuilding the chroot, and i keep going back to my PDF and retyping all the commands so i created on that would rebuild the environment by just calling my new script, then make it one better CP it into /usr/bin and make it executable
#!/bin/bash
mount -v --bind /dev $LFS/dev
mount -vt devpts devpts $LFS/dev/pts
mount -vt tmpfs shm $LFS/dev/shm
mount -vt proc proc $LFS/proc
mount -vt sysfs sysfs $LFS/sys
chroot "$LFS" /tools/bin/env -i \
HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin \
/tools/bin/bash --login +h
just copy and past the above code into a new file and called it lfsroot then if you just want to make it into a command copy it into /usr/bin and you are ready to go, the script will mount the file systems and the enter the chroot environment
This has saved me plenty of time by not typing or copying and pasting commands, My next script will be a script that will tar and cd into the directory of source packages……look for it soon
