Hallo all Let me run this up the mast and see how it catches the breeze.
At the moment I have an LFS5.1 system on a 2.4 kernel. I want to update this to something akin to LFS6.1 (or HLFS6.1) for reasons of security, but retain the 2.4 kernel for reasons of stability. Choices seem to be: 1/ update (or build again) the 5.1 system with various packages updated (OpenSSL, zlib etc etc) 2/ build the 6.1 system but customise for a 2.4 kernel. This would involve such things as: a) kernel headers from 2.4 b) building glibc for 2.4 c) udev omitted d) NPTL may need tweaking e) others to be found ... Obviously both choices break the books. The first choice ought to be less problematic, but the second should be better if it were to prove successful. Has anyone been through a similar exercise? Would anyone have any advice to offer? - Lyn -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
