My question is basically, which LFS version to choose? I've been looking at 6.0 and 5.1.1, but they seem to be quite slow on these archaic machines. Would I be better off going back to LFS-4.x or even 3.x?
Hmm, I'd well imagine that it would take much longer to *build* recent versions of LFS, but I'm surprised that runtime is significantly affected. LFS is a fairly minimal system, so I'm wondering exactly where the slowdown is. Are we talking bootup time, or runtime of specific programs? I'm lead to believe that gcc has made some headway in producing faster running executables in the more recent versions you'll find in LFS-{6.0,5.1.1}.
Care to enlighten us as to specifically where the slowdown is?
Cheers,
Matt. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
