=========================snip================================= Hello, I'm a (normally) silent observer - been building LFS since 2.x... and having lots of fun. Having read the discussion regarding cross-compiling I'm a bit confused... How are you supposed to get the new cross-compiled tools and kernel onto the "other architecture" (Presumably this is a different machine? Will this process require the making of a CD or something? Will this new methodology work with nALFS? I use it all the time. I'd also like to concur with Randy. I build a new LFS fairly regularly just for fun and would probably give up if I couldn't use xterms and cut-&-paste. Just my twopenny's worth. PS - I have three machines here: A very old AMD K6-450Mhz which has got me to LFS6.0 and runs fine. An old Dell (upgraded) P4 400Mhz FSB 2.6Ghz with RDRAM (This is the machine I now use for LFS). And a shiny new AMD 64 3200+. I'd be interested/happy in trying to build a 64bit version for that as it only has M$oft on it at the mo and I've a 200Gb disk to fill. Thanks for everyone's hard work in the LFS team - it has opened my eyes to linux and helped me find an alternative to M$.
