I also have a 486 coming in. Should I try it?
LOL - I'm not trying to inflict pain on anybody else (I've got enough myself!). I estimate that building only pass 1 binutils and gcc would take several hours on those machines, and the more interesting question would be whether the whole of current LFS can be built on such old machines : I suspect that disk _space_ (including for swap) might be a problem on those machines. ĸen -- This email was written using 100% recycled letters. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
