LFS ZipDisks and Post install Clean up!

[Mr.Shifty]

hi
i have a few questions real quick

first is it possable to build a small base lfs system on a 250mb zipdisk (enough to begin the process on a already partitioned second hard disk ill explain..

currently i have slackware 8 installed on my second hard drive the table looks like this

/dev/hdb1 256mb linux swap
/dev/hdb2 1gb /
/dev/hdb3 15gb /usr
/dev/hdb4 13gb /home

the zip disk is /dev/hdc4

now what im thinking is

1 install the very bare base lfs system on the zip disk to where it can be booted

2 from there begin building the main lfs system on the disk all the way

3 after its all set up and the boot scripts are done remove the zip and allow lilo to work it magic a new lfs system on the disk (and a zip still ready to do it again if need be)

the reason i ask is from what i read LFS is the best way to learn and understand linux
thats what im going for

so sence the 2 posts i found related to this subject yeilded no answers can it be done has it been done?

secondly after the install of slack 8 i noticed alot of stuff id like to remove i read somthing about package tool or pkgtool
basically i want to trim down my current system to a much leaner state for example how do i remove those games

anyhow that about does it for now ill have my face burried in the lfs book as i try to make sence of it all :)

thanx in advance for the help :)

just a bump and one other question

lets say for the sake of agrument it is possable if so would one have to set up actual type 83 linux natvie partitions? i am assuming so if thats the case can i just format it and treat it as any other block device and begin creating my lfs directorys?
