ROFL
I tried my fist comile on a 486/66 with 4meg ram. Took me over a week to
get a kernal that would comi\pile with out an error , that would load. Had
to start the compile and leave it overnight.
Talk about fustrating <grin>
Funny thogh . since installing suse on my p166 and amd400 , I havent yet
needed to recomplile.
But now I know I wont have to leave it run.
Reminds me of when I started programing wirh clarion 1/2 start the complile
, go have a cupo of coffe and come back 20 minuts latter. These bnow
complier and faster chips are great.
