How to downgrade gcc to 3.4.X

hotsauce · 2006-02-03 03:03:03

hi there, I don't know if it's the good forum for that but I hope someone can help me. I would like to install Linux from Scratch and use my Arch noodle install as a host for it for the initial stages. However, the software versions used in LFS are incompatible with gcc 4 which is the one used by arch.

Is there an easy to removie gcc 4 and install the 3.4 instead. How would you procede?

Thanx for your time

Sorry, but I don't believe there is at the moment...

Hmm... that s what i thought. I ll just go the lazy way and take one of my other old distro cds. It was a real new arch install anyway so i,m not wasting too much.

thanx anyway

ciao
