I've never installed LFS, and I applaud you for wanting to learn more
of Linux internals.

I'd suggest that, before you bootstrap a system up from a compiler, you
get some experience messing around with a *simple* chroot install. The
one I recommend is Plop Linux:

Plop is also good for messing around with. For instance, I later
initted Plop with a combination of Suckless Init, daemontools-encore,
and LittKit. Rolling your own init gives you a whole new perspective.
