Now the web site warned that downloading the "Desktop" target could
require
as much as 2 GB... I don't remember seeing such a target (I did "svn
co" of the 7.0
branch), I picked "Generic System" or something, I guess. Now it's
been downloading
for a day or two, and I've gone past the 4 (four) GB mark !! When will
it stop ?
I feel like I'm downloading all of the 30000 revisions and 3100
packages that you
boast of...
Yes, "Generic System" is like Debian, FreeBSD, et al. - which is build
as many of
the packages possilble (e.g. without embedded stuff or altarnatives that
would
overwrite each other's files).
So you indeed build as much as possible. There should be the desktop
target in
the Config Target selection.
You can also select a package pre-selection template on the Generic
target which
limits the stuff to build to just a minimal command-line or minimal
X.org Linux.
Also note that scripts/Download -required is not necessary anymore, and
Build-Target will download on demand missing stuff for each package.
As William already wrote, the downloads are placed in the download/
directory
and unless you manually remove them are re-used, so even if you change
your configuration now - the already fetched files will be used for the new
build.
