Hello.
I recently installed Gentoo on my old Pentium 200 MMX machine with only
64MB RAM. Took only a couple of days, mostly because I was busy with
other stuff. But now there's an update to glibc available which is
simply impossible to emerge on this old computer.
It's just, compiling is not the problem (thanks to distcc), it's the
install process. When he's doing the stuff with UTF-8 and
ISO8859-something -- What is that for anyway? -- it takes literally forever.
Yesterday I updated glibc on my AthlonXP 1800+, which made me realize
how little my P200 had completed of the stuff I mentioned above after a
couple of days!
I'd just like to know what that stuff is for. Oh, and, can I just modify
my make.conf on my AthlonXP machine to compile glibc _for_ my P200 in
order to emerge via binary package? Or have you guys got some other
ideas to the problem?
Regards,
Sigi
