At least on HP-UX, the most of tinkering is |
| 15 |
needed at stage3 part, where prefix-launcher |
| 16 |
gives no help. |
| 17 |
It's possible to bootstrap with just bare |
| 18 |
bootstrap-prefix.sh and initial tools installed |
| 19 |
from hpux.connect.org.uk, but again, a log of |
| 20 |
messing. |
