Seems like you wasted my time as well then. One of the big appeals (I'm sure I'm not alone) of LFS is that it runs superbly on old hardware, so it's a shame you are not interested. > We > may have a non-compatibility in the host system > requirements in that we > need to raise the minimum level of packages, but I'm not > going to put > any time in it.
