What on earth do you hope to gain? It will takes days, maybe weeks on a single machine. I don't know of any such documentation, it's years since I last saw someone suggest it. If you intend to persist, here's what I think I'd do. 1: Install absolutely everything. 2: Rebuild gcc and glibc. 3. Install those two packages. If you're going to gain anything, you will gain most of in those two packages. 4. Run a script to build absolutely everything. Use 'set -e' so it stops when something fails. Ideally, you should install the entire result of the first run, and then do it again. It is entirely possible that something will pick up stuff it didn't build. I went throught this exercise a while ago, and there was one package that would not build unless it was already installed. The result of this process will not be something you can call "Red Hat Linux." Read Red Hat's trademark guidlines. I don't think it will be as reliable as Red Hat Linux either, because you will be exercising some of the very newest features of gcc. _______________________________________________ Redhat-devel-list mailing list Redhat-devel-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
