Hallo Kai!

 KR> I do not see that any system needs a dev and build environment.

More blasphemy!  :::tsk, tsk:::

From this angle I can see 3 running systems that have dev and build 
environments, one of which I am typing this reply on.  I wouldn't have it any 
other way.

At the moment 3 is exactly enough.  Also I have no need, nor the money, to have 
100 computers at my disposal.  The most I've had going at the same time is 4 
and all had dev and build environments (gcc and friends).

 KR> I'm still not sure if it was a question for configuration or
 KR> building.

I believe it was about the best way to learn the inner workings of a 
commandline based linux system.  The LFS document definetly contains a very 
good menu as to what is involved as to the basics needed for anyone to build 
such a system.  I have found, and continue to find, it as a most valuable 
document to have handy.  It is a keeper.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
