Frederic,
I have OpenBSD installed on a similar spec machine (P-75 with 40 MB of
RAM, 1 GB disk).
Last time I recompiled a kernel was when it had release 3.5 installed
on it, and I think it took 4-5 hours to build - not too bad, really.
Since then I think the compiler has changed and from memory gcc3 may
take longer to build, so ymmv.
Best wishes,
Damon

Subject: How to apply patches on a small PC
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi,
I'm trying to use a small older pc (75MHz first generation Pentium
64MB ram
3 GB of disk) as a webserver/fileserver using OBSD 3.6. I'm OK to
install
the patches but some of them require to rebuild the kernel which I
suspect
could take forever on this pc (haven't tried it though) and eats up a
lot of
the disk space available.
Is there another way to apply those patches : e.g. can one copy the
kernel
from another pc running 3.6 where the patch has been applied. In
general can
I copy the patched executables (possibly using rsync) ?
Thanks.
Frederic
