Hello, I'm building LFS/BLFS systems for some time now. Always on 32 bits systems. I've bought a brand new system with a Athlon 64 bits. For this system I started to build a new Linux system. I've started with a normal LFS/BLFS system, when I discovered (too late I know!) that this was not the right way. Soon I visited the CLFS sites. Before I decide to build a CLFS system I would like to know a few things. I did find them on the website (no FAQS) so I'm asking them here:
1. My LFS/BLFS system does run on the new architecture x86_64. What are the benefits of a CLFS system (with comparable capability). Is it faster? If yes, then how big is this in percentage? If it is something like 5%, I will probably not switch. If it is 15% or more it's something else. 2. When I look to the CLFS and the CBLFS (http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org) pages I see that the building of 32 and 64 bits are described. On CBLFS I see three different types: 32 bits, N32 and 64bits. What about them? Can someone explain the differences. Do I have to choose one? Thanks in advance, Stef Bon the Netherlands BTW the website/documentation looks very good (apart from the missing FAQS) _______________________________________________ Clfs-support mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cross-lfs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clfs-support
