From: "Tony Phillips" <tphillip@uk.oracle.com> Subject: GNU C 2.4.5 HELP! Date: 7 Oct 1993 07:23:13 -0400
Hi,
I've recently installed SLS on my system, it's great! Thanks to all the people
who've worked on it, and continue to do so!
As well as installing the basic version I've been collecting together the
latest versions of some utilities, the Kernel etc. from a number of ftp sites.
My problem is that disk space is severly limited on my PC!
According to the notes with the kernel I should use GCC 2.4.5 to compile my
kernel...
I've ftp'd the GCC 2.4.5 source code and transferred it on to the PC,
after uncompressing and untarring it I'm left with about 15 megs of disk space;
this isn't enough to do the job!!!
Aside from buying a new hard disk, which I can't afford for a couple of months
(but I'm painfully aware I need one!), is there a 'cut-down' version of GCC
2.4.5 just for linux/i386 platforms, or even better an executable that's
already been compiled? I`d need to get hold of it via a bitftp server as I
only have internet mail access.
One other question: I notice at the end of the acitivist digest which I get
that the current kernel version is up to patch level 19, I've only managed to
find up to pl12; where are the best places to find the latest versions?
Any suggestions are welcome
thanks
