Hi Axel, That shouldn't be a problem, but be sure to set the correct ARCH/CPU in your C(XX)FLAGS to avoid the compiler to use/implement Instructions Sets on the powerful computer, that isn't available on your target computer. export CFLAGS="-march=" export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS f Been a while since I've done anything like this...one other gotcha is the final gmp build, make sure to copy config.fsf. Reminded me of this command: gcc -v -march=native -Q --help=target It'll give you a complete list of flags that's available/unavailable on the Aspire CPU in question. I figure (no guarantees given) that one could use that list in the C(XX)FLAGS on the ASUS to make it match the Target CPU's capabilities. ./Michael -- 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.

Unfortunately I have no free space an the Asus and do not like to change anything on the LVM partitions. Can I create a virtual partition (file) with dd and mount it instead of a "real" partition on the Asus? Can I copy the actual status on the Aspire to the virtual partition of the Asus to build the next steps faster?
