Yea, I know, never reply to your own mails, but . . .
I'm now building using the CLFS book, as recommended into the spare partition
for playing/testing, but what do I do when I'm ready to use that to build my
new Desktop?
At that stage, I'll be running a 64-bit host from the spare partition and
replacing the old 32-bit system with a 64-bit build. I won't need to
cross-compile, but my experience from last night showed it's not
straight-forward to build LFS on a 64-bit host? Maybe it was just a version
thing. Hopefully the new book will be released by then and work better for
this deviation build?
Thanks again for your tireless effort and a great way to learn about Linux.
Cheers,
John Gay
