It's been a long time since I head of anyone still using 2.4.x. When LFS first transitioned to the 2.6.x kernels, we didn't have a way to build it other than to load a commercial distro and build from there. Of course someone did the first build to 2.6, but that was back in 2003. We don't have a build path for 2.4.x->2.6.x and we now specify at least 2.6.18. I'd recommend getting ubuntu, fedora, suse, or another commercial distro and load that. From there, you can build LFS-6.5 or LFS-dev. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
