Well with this you can only configure one book at a time, so
you first
configure and build LFS, then configure and build BLFS.

It only saves the package names and possibly the versions.

best, then it's
already generated and doesn't require manual editing.

I would agree about that too, package management is almost
necessary,
removal is one benefit, I use it more for knowing what the
