Hello There I've been reading this topic for a lot of time and I would like to give some tips.

I suggest to make a cross-compiler for i586-linux-gnu and use that to build the temporary system. I can create a guide for that. > > That fixed my problem..

Then start installing LFS-6.{1-3} from scratch, i.e. Ch 4, on the i586. > (Some bits of what you built on the Dell might be usable, but IMO it's just > not worth the waste of time getting to the end and seeing it crash with an > illegal instruction and THEN starting over.) > > > I have tried Linux Mint and the only versions that will talk to the > > Internet are 17.1 up to 18.3.. > > As I said, I run (B)LFS-7.2 on a 1GHz Pentium-iii Coppermine every day and it > chokes on modern websites with lots of images and javascript.

A third generation > Pentium-MMX runs at 233MHz, a tenth or less of modern CPUs. Also, LFS-6.1 is > going to be running a 2.6 kernel, more ot less (2.6.17 on mine), The Linux kernel can run on a CPU as old as a 486. You can check this by unpacking the most recent kernel and running 'make menuconfig' There deselect the option "64-bit kernel", go to "Professor type and features" and finally check "Processor Family" Someone has installed Gentoo on a 486 computer.
