From a live boot system, I don't see why not. Compiling a system and writing it to disk should be relatively easy.
From a blank system and a blank thumb drive... No, unless your PC has some form of builtin command line. You'd either have to type in every line of code like you were using a PC from the 70s, or implement networking so that you could download it.
Oh, sorry I guess I was not detailed enough @frongt@lemmy.zip - I have a working desktop Linux system and an unused i7 laptop (whose battery does not charge, btw) 2 machines - I can use the desktop to prepare the thumb drive and the do the work on the laptop.
You can absolutely do that, but I would highly recommend setting up the laptop for SSH access. That way, you can work on your LFS from your main desktop, which will probably be much more comfortable, will allow you to easily copy and paste from the book and so forth.
