Just got a new laptop with an AMD Turion and want to take advantage of it. My last LFS build was 6.3--I have never used 64-bit. I'm planning my strategy and want to solicit comments and ask a couple of questions.

I intend to use lfslivecd-x86_64-6.3-r2160 as my host--I understand from the CLFS changelog that it has been updated with lfs-6.4 CLFS packages. However, I want to use the development version of the CLFS book, which, I think, is using lfs-6.5 packages, patches and scripts. I plan to do this by remastering the cd and adding the packages.

I tried to see how close CLFS was to LFS-6.5 but got lost in the details. How close is the current development to 6.5? Of course, I would share any info I get from building to further the CLFS development along.

My second question. I see "x86-64" and x86-64 multilib." I can't discover what the difference between the two is, and, when looking ahead to CBLFS saw "multilib" and "64-bit" build instructions. What exactly is the difference between the two concepts?

Any comments, suggestions or warnings about what I'm planning?

Thanks,

Dan
