[lfs-support] Requesting to include about Package-management in lfs book

[charith madhuranga]

I think its better to include  about package-management in  lfs book.At
least about popular one like deb or rpm . It will help reader to get a
proper idea about package-management in linux and how they function to
make linux system management easy for the users.Lack of documentation
about how to combine the lfs knowledge  with package-managment  make it 
frustrating.Please be kind enough to consider about above matter and
share your knowledge with us.

Have you read Section 6.3? What wording would you suggest? Note that
rpm and apt-get are not easily supported in source based installations.

I would be very interested to see detailed steps for adding a package
manager like rpm or apt to an existing LFS system. I also volunteer to help
test and provide feedback for that. This would be fascinating because it
would give insight into how someone could create their own Linux distro. I'm
particularly interested in creating a tiny Linux that can be downloaded and
installed by others, then expanded easily to suit their needs. It would be
fun to see how small that download could be made, yet still contain enough
that people could easily download and install binary packages of their
choice.

I build rpm into the base system.Tools is straight forward, chapter
6 needs some tickling but it can be did.
