Ok - it seems that I will have to accept that :-(.
So the approach will be to use the hint for small footprint system
and compile it on another machine manually forcing the target to be 586?
Thanks

Hi Tony,
I was hoping I could build a small system on this laptop. It has
32MB of RAM and I setup a 75MB swap partition. The rest of the
hard disk 1.2GB is mounted as /mnt/lfs.
I think you might struggle with that, I'm afraid. Building just
chapter 5 on an Athlon XP 2400+ with 512MB RAM and 512MB swap took
just over 3.5 hours over the weekend (admittedly that included all
the toolchain testsuites as well). A better approach, if possible,
would be to utilise a much faster machine than your laptop, then
copy the resulting system across, minus any binaries and libraries
you don't require.
Have to agree, and maybe even stretch it to; it won't work.. :(
I compiled LFS 6.0 on a P-200MMX a few months ago. 96MB RAM and 7GB
HD. First followed my standard procedure and set up 190MB (ca 2xRAM)
swap, and started building. Don't remember exactly where the problem
started, but think it was the bootstrap phase in ch5. Strange
errors.. Tried again, similar, but not the same.. Ok, finally I set
up 1GB swap, and managed to compile the whole system. Took me about
a week, wouldn't recommend it. :)
The case is, with low RAM, you gonna need alot of swap, and then
there's not enough space left on your 1.2GB HD for building.. :(
