Ah, my old laptop has succeeded! It is a faithful old workhorse. Acer model 3681WXMi, 60GB HD, 512MB RAM, Celeron M 410 1.46GHz (single core CPU). As I didn't have enough space on the HD, I plugged in a USB HD -- only USB-2. So, very slow. But, it chugged away overnight, through today. Sailed through compiling 'gcc' at stage-5. Which makes me wonder about the cores in my latest laptop. Its an i3 Intel CPU, with 4 cores, and T2 is using all 4. I will configure T2 to use just 1 core, and we will see what happens.
