Yeah you can do that. But not only the CPU will be quite slow but the swap |
| 9 |
space is even slower on that old comp. You won't want to use swap on modern |

computers and its even worse on such old ones. Of course it may work but I'd |

strongly suggest to not compile on that machine. (Just for the speed :)) |

I myself have a p200 in the basement. I compiled the whole system on my |
| 14 |
workstation and only do the updates on the router itself which can take quite |
| 15 |
some time too. |
