Hello William, Not at all. On internal drive it should be compiling faster and you will not need to solve "USB drive as a root drive" tasks in addition.
Please give LFS a try. It is the best way how to learn GNU/Linux philosophy/logic and its internals optimized way in my opinion. (I really do not want to see you to go to the (Windows) Dark Side :-) ). Best wishes, David. 2014/1/11 William Darryl Jackson <wm.djack...@comcast.net>: > On 01/11/2014 03:33 PM, David Kredba wrote: >> I am suggesting you to umount /dev/sdb2 as Debian root and mount it >> still as Debian root >> without limiting options.
