I've been thinking about how to upgrade a system without going through a full LFS build. AFAICT, almost every package on a system can be upgraded without a reboot. BLFS packages are very straight forward as well as gcc, and most of the other LFS packages.
Of course a kernel upgrade would need a reboot. About the only packages I can see might cause a problem are glibc and possibly binutils. Has anyone tried rebuilding and installing these packages in place on the current system? If so, what experiences have you had? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
