ReiserFS on LFS

2005-07-09 Thread Rodrigo Lopes
Hi there, this is my first post on the list. I'm stating my studies to build my LFS... My first question is: Is there many diferences to build my LFS with ext2 and with ReiserFS ? My host Linux suports ReiserFS and I have alerady formated my LFS partition with ReiserFS... I think that the un

How to build an entire LFS system using uclibc instead of glibc

2005-07-09 Thread Razvan Cristian
I have built a LFS system, and I would like to find out how I could build it using uclibc instead of glibc. I'm not interested on putting it on a floppy or something, I just want to build a system which should be as large as 30-40 MB. As I've seen, binaries compiled against uclibc are very small.
