In general, even an old 32bit CPU is ok for LFS, its just a matter of patience ;-) But when becoming more familiar with LFS you will use either jhalfs or write your own build scripts. All that will enable you running unattended builds (over night) so the effective speed does not matter that much IMHO. If building complex packages like QT or its qtwebsomething, the more RAM you have the better. At least 8GB on a 64bit CPU should be fine. I'd recommend to have an eye on that. I use allways 12GB disk space for partitions to build LFS in - so nearly all available disks nowadays should be fine. A 32GB mSATA is a bit small, but every size above should be fine also. But that depends on what else you want to have on disk beside LFS. -- Thomas -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
