Ah yes the subject isn't misleading...
Last night I installed slackware 7.1, updated some stuff, patched the 2.2 kernel to use ext3 and updated e2fsprogs. I then downloaded all the packages for LFS-2.4.4, from reading messages back in the old LFS mailing list archive, gathered what needed to be done in the patches, mostly... and then started the build. Since I started LFS with 3.0, I saw how things kept getting bigger and taking longer to complete. However, going back to 2.4.4, brought back old memories of how the build used to go. Whew! It was fun. Did it all in a virtual machine, too. Quite nice. Anyways, got a nice working 2.4.4 system to do something with now. Muahahaha. Not sure if I'll get a system using 2.0 kernel going. Might see. Was fun to do anyways. What might be the reason for doing this? Asked my a few already who I talked to. I just like to see how far LFS has come. Not to mention how all the utilities used since then till now have been added, changed, removed, etc. Pretty interesting. -William Harrington -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
