But I'm a bit beyond my Biblically alloted "three score and ten", and the short-term memory is going. What they say is true! But as I suggested before, that's why pencils were invented! I'm not being hard on you gratuituously, it's based on my experience; as you wanted. Computers are nothing if not literal, so we must be up to that challenge. We must be precise, and controlled. > but, I feel good if I can remember just that I have it, I can then go > and find it, > which I did.. One thing I did when I bought my IMSAI kit, as we were trained to do getting my major in Chemistry, was buy a bound quadrille-ruled notebook to take notes in. I very much recommend it! > it wasn't or didn't have the boot information.. Maybe it wasn't a > bootable ISO Image file.. Possible, I suppose, depending on where you got it.

Generally, erroneous. That MAY work for closely related versions, but there's no way to know for sure. So you're much better off working with things that experience has shown do "play well together". > Yes, what I have in Linux Mint 5 meets all of the requirements for > building Linux From Scratch.. > > You also told me that I might not be able to use Linux Mint 5, because > it was too late of a version and would not work on the 586 code, Maybe.. If it passes the tests in Ch4, it may be worth a try. Check the kernel version. There is a point where at least a particular kernel version is required to build. I stopped at 2.6.17, beyong that too much changed that wasn't relevant, IMNSHO, to 586 kit. > > Which was another reason I was thinking of using it, if I could find a > later version than I have.. > > I have the LFS- LiveCD, on CD/DVD but, I was having trouble using it, > like I would with Mint, Maybe, because it was so much different that > what I am used to, I was having trouble making it do what was needed > done.. I understand, but am not persuaded. As when I quoted Euclid, "There is no royal road to geometry." Choosing what is easier is not always best. That LFS LiveCD is exactly what you'll be dealing with when you build, and have built, your LFS system. You'll need to use it effectively to turn that very Spartan system into something you can enjoy using. You'll need skills at the command line.

What is the Dell, CPU/chipset, etc. That may or may not work because there is 20 years between the system you want to build and what it is built on. Many, many things have changed. I don't see the benefit of trying. The experiences might not be as parallel as you think. The amount of work certainly doubles. p.s. Can you be more parsimonious about what you quote as the relevant part you're responding to. It's difficult to follow your posts. -- Paul Rogers paulgrog...@fastmail.fm Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates." (I do not personally endorse any additions after this line. TANSTAAFL :-) --Hi All; Paul, can You do something for me, and I will try something as well.. Tomorrow, I will try to Load, boot and run Knoppix 6.71 and see if it will work on the 586.. Can You either send me the Link for knoppix 5.1.x that You used or is a good link to a bootable source, or send me via github a copy of what You have ?? That would boot knoppix on the 586.. Thank You for all of Your Help and encouragement.. THANK YOU Marty P. S., Paul, I just got from the Linux Mint forum site, Links for Linux Mint vers 3.1 to ver 11.. So, since I do not have my Windows 10 machine ,and why not find out How.. How can I or what do I need to Burn a CD on my Dell Machine using Linux Mint 17.3 ?? And Burn the Mint's that I don't have, and see what will work on the 586, as Host and that will match up to what is needed to build Linux From Scratch 6.0 to 6.1.1.. I have put various Versions of LFS and Linux Mint on 3X5 cards, listing out what versions of some of the important programs are such as Binutils, GCC , Glibc, make , etc for comparison..
