LFS users usually build a new system when they change glibc - otherwise if the new glibc breaks, your existing system is trashed. Potentially, if the rebuilt glibc does work you might experience occasional breakage in applications, because your userspace is built against sanitised 2.6 kernel headers and interface changes are not backwards-compatible. Apart from that, you'll need to create static devices to use a 2.4 kernel - that in itself will be an interesting exercise because you already have a tmpfs mounted over /dev. So far, you haven't indicated why you want to use a 2.4 kernel, but it sounds like an opportunity to build a new system with a less-bloated blfs 8) Ken -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
