Not unless you want to. > if so can i follow the BLFS dev book on doing that upgrade with no issues? Yes. The main difference you'd notice in compiling software is that gcc-4 is stricter on syntax than gcc-3. So, you can safely apply any patches in BLFS for gcc-4 because most of the time they're just for fixing sloppy code that the gcc-3 compiler would have let slip through. > Also is the Gcc4 instruction set for the most part complete/stable I think so, but it's relative to your definition of stable. Certainly the main packages in BLFS have been being built against gcc-4 for quite some time now. Keep in mind that this is my opinion. > or can i just proceed with the Xorg section with out worrying about GCC.? I would. You could certainly build gcc-4 and keep moving, but there wouldn't be a great advantage if your just trying to get a system running. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
