One can rebuild the kernel on the hard drive either before or after one has rebuilt the other system and application software. I would usually rebuild the kernel after the toolchain has been rebuilt, simply so that I build it using a 64-bit toolchain. The kernel only needs to be rebuilt before rebooting the system from the hard drive. This way the entire system can be rebuilt while running under a kernel and glibc [on the CD] that match the hardware architecture of the box. Indeed, I have just such an operation planned for next week. -- Regards Dave [RLU#314465] ====================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] (David W Noon) ====================================================== -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
