I, too, have a 386/40 and a P133. Compiling 2.0.x takes me 10 minutes on
the P133 and 3 hours 30 on the 386. What problems would there be in
an NFS mount of the 386 /usr to the newer machine and doing a sort
of cross compile? Are all the links relative? What about System.map and
psdatabase?
I do have one problem exclusive to the 386, which has 8 Mb ram. If I
zless /debian/rex/Contents.gz
and then search for ryry I get steadily increasing disk activity, the
swap file grows to 9 Mb and I never get to the end. Can anyone reproduce
this behaviour?
