How to compile Linux kernel on a 150MHz Notebook

ifeghali's picture

Ok I decided to give my 150MHz @ 32MB RAM notebook a personalized Kernel. By the way, its screen is blurred so I need a external monitor. There was some keys not working on the keyboard so I removed it and needed an external keyboard too.

With 2.4.31 source in hand (got from Slackware 10.2 CDs) it took me 1 hour to match every option in .config according to my needs and hardware. The problem came with make bzImage. It took SO long (more than 2 hours) and overheat CPU (Pentium 200MHz MMX underclocked to 150MHz).

First Blog post ever - Can we define a new number of hours per day?.

I never had a Blog before, mostlly because I'm not organized enough to have a extra time on my day to write about it, specially in a foreign language (so try to ignore any mistakes!).

This days I'm having a hard time trying to schedule all the stuff that I have to do. My final exams are in midle-end of June and only stops on June 30th so this SoC start is messing up my life. The mid-term evaluating definily make things even harder.

I have no doubts that this SoC experience its gone to be great (and lucrative) but until July I'm f***** !!

Can we set a new value for the number of hours in a day?

SoC has officially started. In the words of Warren Zevon, "send lawyers, guns and money"
