install Fedora From Source.

mahir · 09-05-2004, 09:28 AM

can someone please help me.

i normally use gentoo
i love that fact that we can install what we want
without extra crap... that isnt required...

however, making it a virtual manual installation also means it takes alot longer to get things runnin the way you want.

my question is :

how would i install fedora from the source rpms?

can someone please help me...

Is there any tangible advantage to running from Fedora Core 2 built from source? Can anyone explain this to me without having to bring up funroll-loops.org...

I can understand marginal performance improvements, but are they really worth the effort put forth to completely compile *everything*? I guess the utility differs from one case to another.
