Can you guys give me more details about how LFS and DL go together?

I understand that we chroot to a LFS system, used to build DL, but how
much of the base LFS system goes into the final DL ISO?  Are parts of
the LFS system copied over to DL, or is LFS just a tool to build DL?

And how is the LFS tar image on the DL FTP site created?  Is it just 
downloaded from the LFS web site, or custom created by DL developers?

Thanks, Bruce.
