Generally, I do set up /proc/config.gz but Debian doesn't. One point is that it is only available for the running kernel. I like to have older versions available for reference. >> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12M Sep 29 02:38 initrd.img-2.6.32-5-486 >> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12M Sep 29 02:38 initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686 > > Even if you want the 32-bit system, I doubt that you need a 486 > version. Agree. I think that was done automatically as a part of the Debian live install. > My recent desktop kernels are all around 4.0 to 4.2 MB.

I tend to keep things around awhile even if they are not needed.

I copied over my /usr/src directory so now I have that backed up. I still need fcron and rsync. I do want to put sound on the system so I can play ogg files. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
