'Yes', nine different 32-bit machines; plus three 64-bit running 32-bit os. *BUT*, these are for not-by-the-books builds: instead, they're for builds/tests that derive in parts from the books. > > I am thinking about rewriting the LFS preface section on architecture to say: > > The primary target architecture of LFS is the AMD/Intel x86_64 (64-bit) > CPU. In addition instructions are included that allow a build on older > 32-bit Intel CPUs, but testing is not regularly done on that architecture. s/regularly done/done regularly/ > The instructions in this book are also known to work, with some > modifications, with the Power PC and ARM CPUs. ... > > I would then remove the second and third paragraphs and the small table > between them. > Both paras and table are ok to leave in, until as/when 32-bit is dropped altogether. It may be useful/'nice' to include stats from recent by-the-book 32-/64- bit (properly-comparable) builds. > What do you think? > > http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/prologue/architecture.html > akh -- -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
