Umm... please explain. According to this, the BLFS book gives some advice on how to install a package management system, but to quote directly, "Dealing with package management takes the focus away from the goals of these books—teaching how a Linux system is built."

I started compiling LFS, but didn't know how to do certain things and got frustrated when the toolchain (namely, GCC) wouldn't install properly. I think I know what the problem was (I should have created a new make.conf, I think), but I do remember there being nothing RPM-ish about it. It really was a matter or ./configure && make && make install.

Some LFS-based distros -- for example, dyne:bolic or Yoper -- can use .rpm files and have package management utilities, but that's not really an aspect of LFS, but of the individual distros.

The LFS stuff that I've done have always come in RPM format.  Hence the ick.  Perhaps things have changed since then.
