Uh, that hurds :-) so setting up a crosstoolchain to compile hurd and some basic software to build the rest of the system? I suppose when you are that far that you have a hurd kernel and glibc + gcc + [add needed tools here] it would be (almost) like "any" other lfs. The tricky part is getting that far ;-) No I don't plan to do it in the near future ... one moment please ... *reading http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/install.html* hm ... weeeel ... may be in a few years ... it is intresting yes and much of the lfs / blfs can be adopted ... but I would not count on nVidia or ATI to provide driver for their devices ... -- H CUH Rainer Peter Feller H -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
