Ok, I started with a clean slate. Formatted and reinstalled, using SuSE's minimal configuration (49 mb). Added gcc, libc, make, autoconf, texinfo, bison, flex, automake and I'm sure others that I'm forgetting. Installed binutils-2.9.1 from source, then started on glibc. Used glibc-2.0.6 with the crypt, linuxthreads and localedata add ons. Configured it as my primary c library instead of a test install, and compiled the works (sheesh, I thought mico took a long time to compile, glibc took 50 minutes on my p200mmx). Anyway, so far, so good. Now I'm gonna finish watching Baron von Munchausen and get to bed so I can wake up for soccer in the morning. First thing tomorrow I'll link my fresh glibc to my compiler (which has been gcc-2.7.2.1 so far), build egcs-1.0.3a and a fresh kernel and then figure out what's next. Til then. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
