Laptops :: Failure while loading Kernel!



Oh I am in swap hell right now.  Sofar, compiling Kismet has taken around 4 hours.  I've only gotten through ./configure and the first two files in make.  This is just a tinker box so I would let this run for a week before I stop it :) I got 32-MB more on the way, then it won't be too bad.

You are compiling on a 486?!?!?!?!?!

Are you a masochist or something sheesh...a kernel compile will take you 3 days!!!!

It took 6hrs to compile the 2.4.27 kernel on my compaq presario 1700 (600Mhz, 128Meg ram [running in a VirtualPC terminal FC1])

Wow I can only imagin what it would take on a 486!!!
