And I am glad I put a fan on that pi, I just saw a make -j4 go by. That will crash a fanless rock64 in about 3 minutes. But its marching right along too. Claims 6 hours for one kernel, 12 hours for both. But doesn't say what "both" means. Been running the -j4 for nearly an hour now. And I'm giving it the ultimate test, its working on the raspian-stretch-full.zip, the most recent release. About 2 months old. Heck, ack the docs it can even play nightly updater and buildbot! Thats an intriguing thought. If it can run lcnc-2.9.0-pre0, also (re)built on the pi, I might setup a weekly update. That would be neat as can be. But I don't think that would make me an expert, since we all know thats just a leak under pressure... :p) Cheers All, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
