Hello

         I have a question before I take the leap to install a LFS system.

First I have a HP Pavilion zv5034us Laptop
                      2.66 P4 with 1GB of RAM
                      Ati IGP integrated video 128MB shared mem
                      Ati IPX150 AC'97  integrated sound
                      60 gig hard drive
                      CDR/DVD-ROM
                      Broadcom BCM4306 802.11b wireless
                      Realtek RTL-8139/8139C  integrated Ethernet card


I am currently running Gentoo with the gentoo-dev-kernel-2.6.11-rc3 I am using the radeon driver built into xorg-x11 for 3D/opengl I am using ndiswrapper-1.0 for my wireless card I use FVWM2 for my desktop.


My question is with the kernel-2.6.8 that LFS is using will my system still work.
I mean that I was not able to get my wireless working until I rebuilt my kernel using 2.6.11



Also My time is kinda short and If I choose to do this Is it possible to have a working LFS box within
a few days? I understand I am compiling everything from scratch I did alot of that with Gentoo so I know it does take some time I just can't have this laptop down for 2 weeks trying to get everything working. spending net hours at day.


My needs are pretty small being only a working LFS box with xorg-x11 and fvwm2 does this sound reasonable or should wait till I have more time? or for a new kernel?
