| 322234 | 2005-02-07 05:48:00 | 8 hours is incredibly fast... Compiling on my P2 300 Mhz a basic server setup took about 5 days (This was redoing GCC and GlibC admittedly). I got it down to 10 hours on my P4 2.8Ghz. Using gcc-3.4 helps with the speed, it seems to take less time to compile. netstat doesnt seem to do what I want :( Chill. |

| 322235 | 2005-02-07 05:58:00 | That is compiling the OS from source with Gentoo. You don't normally use pre-compiled binaries unlike other distro's, hence the faster installation with them. :) You could, of course, load a running system from packages in about 20 mins, and then rebuild from source in the background whilst you are working. |

| 322237 | 2005-02-07 09:45:00 | You could use the binaries vinref, thats what Stage3 installs are for though... then you recompile with gcc-3.4 and some nice C/LDFLAGS. Prescott: I dont spend 5 days sitting there in front of it. Thats LFS (Linux From Scratch), if you really wanna do that. I might type: emerge mozilla-firefox It'll then go off and grab everything that Firefox depends on, such as X, freetype (or xft, whatever), gtk+, and a myriad of other things. It downloads and compiles them. Its like an easy-bake oven, just set it and forget it. I only have to intervene if there's been an issue while it compiles. This is on a _very_ slow box used for a server remember so theres pretty few things that need to be built. I wouldnt run a Desktop on it! Chill. |
