This is just a weekend project. I am slowly building a new machine from parts and I would like to know if when the time comes... is it possible to compile all SuSE from scratch on my new box?
I have tried this with SUSE 9.0. I don't know if much has changed since then, but the problem I kept running into was that a lot of tools used in the spec files are not included in SUSE - maybe they are in the SDK, I don't know. What kind of machine are you building? Chances are the (slight) performance increase you *might* see in certain apps will probably not be worth the time you spent rebuilding everything. Hans
