Hi folks, I am about to compile my first kernel, but since I've heard it can last a while (up to several hours), I will have to plan the job more carefully.
Here is a quick summary of my hardware: PIII 455kHz prosessor 192Mb RAM, 2 hdd (12Gb + 4Gb) with ext3 fs, 1 cd-writer, (non scsi) 1 cdrom (non scsi) Floppy drive Sound Blaster audiocard (using module ens-1371 today) nVidia graphix card 5 USB 2.0 ports on PCI card Besides that my monitor, speakers, keybord and mouse (com1) is quite old, with no special effects or buttons. Does anyone have any idea how long a kernelcompilation will take. When I start this job I will compile the latest kernel.org stable release (i.e. 2.6.12 or up). Thanks in advance, Vegard
