Whenever I need to rebuild everything, I do it from a recovery CD. This |
| 14 |
means I don't need to run the kernel and glibc that are on the hard |
| 15 |
drive. |

One can rebuild the kernel on the hard drive either before or after one |
| 18 |
has rebuilt the other system and application software. I would usually |
| 19 |
rebuild the kernel after the toolchain has been rebuilt, simply so that |
| 20 |
I build it using a 64-bit toolchain. The kernel only needs to be |
| 21 |
rebuilt before rebooting the system from the hard drive. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
This way the entire system can be rebuilt while running under a kernel |
| 24 |
and glibc [on the CD] that match the hardware architecture of the box. |

Indeed, I have just such an operation planned for next week. |
