Some people apparently upgrade the toolchain in a running LFS - but I'm not sure if any of them read lfs-support. If they don't answer on this list, you might need to ask on blfs-support. The reliable method is to use the old system to build the new one - on a different partition, following the book (particularly, checking the requirements, and building chapter 5. After that is finished, of course, you have to build whatever else you use. Upgrading the toolchain falls into the "if it breaks, you keep both pieces" category. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
