Re: Initial Thoughts, migration from Ubuntu ahead

I think, you not should build the new Gobo from scratch. Much easyer start
with/in the old GoboRelease, and make it up-to-date step-by-step. I think,
the good order are cca as it written in the LFS:

1. New Glibc
2. New GCC
3. Make, BinUtils, etc
4. Ncurses (need to menuconfig), readline, etc...
5. kernel...
6. Other stuffs...
