The information may be outdated (1 year ago), but I managed to build a dev LFS system from Knoppix 5.1 on a PII with 256mb RAM.
The 3 tricks I remember were: 1. Use a swap partition, the build failed for obscure reasons without any and it was in gcc too if I remember correctly. *1.5gig has been enough over here. Knoppix should see and enable it at boot time (swapon). 2. Build a toolchain texinfo at the start of chapter 5. 3. Build a toolchain bison before bash in chapter 5. Here's what I used to compile both bison and texinfo in chap 5 $ ./configure --prefix=/tools $ make $ make install Hoping that helps, Dominic.
