Hello,
First I know about the thought of running LSF and I'm violating your guy's whole way of life.. With that said here we go.. I have a linux server now and its to small to be creating a OS on it plus I don't want it down for that long.. I have another linux box thats huge! Has plenty of space to create the LFS os on it.. I would like to make the os on one box and then burn it onto a CD and install it on the other box.. How would I do that? I have lots of thoughts of why to do this but not enough time to share them.. I hope that somone can point me in the right direction.. Thanks


Cheers,

I did something similar..okay, was like that:
my faster box is a dual p3/500 and the slower one a celeron 300. I took the harddisk out of the small box and mounted it in the big one. Then I compiled everything without optimizations (where needed) or I optimized for -O3 -mcpu=pentium2 (where possible).

Well, everything works, but I guess that this is luck because of the x86 architecture on both machines...if you intend to compile your code on two completely different systems such as one is a PowerPC and the other is an Intel, you should do some reading about "cross-compiling"

Good Luck!

P.S.: forgot to say:
Booting was a problem. The harddisk I took out of the small box was going to be /dev/hda on the small machine. So I installed my bootloader with a trick: I downloaded the SuSE Boot-CD Image and made a bootable CD with it.
Then, after compiling finished, I put the harddisk back into the small box and then booted it with the SuSE CD (select "manual installation"; then "boot installed system"), checked the /etc/lilo.conf and finally executed lilo. After a reboot the system was ready to go
