Heya all. Need some help. I have an old lfs installation which is in production use, for the past 5-6 years. I guess it's version 6.3 or something since it has kernel 2.6 on it. It is time to install a new version on it. But there are the following problems:
1.) Since it is in production it can't be offline longer than 3 hrs. So the new lfs has to be compiled while the old dist is still running and then when everything is finished just copied to root. 2.) The compilation has to be done on this machine. 3.) There can't be installed any other distribution (Ubuntu, RedHat,...) or any virtual machine. 4.) Obviously I can't compile lfs 7.4 with 6.3. So here is what I need. Which lfs version can I use as a jump pad. For instance can I compile 7.0 with 6.3 and then compile 7.4 with 7.0? I can use chroot on this machine. And it isn't a problem even if I have to do a three step compile (i.e. 6.3 -> 7.0 -> 7.1 -> 7.4) So the question is can I compile some version of lfs which can be compiled on 6.3 and can compile 7.4 and can I do both or more compilations in chroot? THX in advance... Daniel
