You could perhaps cut it in five days by doing the steps manually. :) That is, make -k and install the libs, make -k and install the rest, then make the rest again, look where it still falls over, and resolve any bootstrapping conflicts. I usually do it this way even on much faster machines. I'm using `make world' only for hardware tests. ;-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
