 | | compiling the kernel winLegOS

Hi there. I've an old notebook (libretto 70ct) and of course not too much space on disk. So I wonder if I can compile the kernel with winLegOS, due to the fact that cygwin consumes a lot of space. If that's not possible, should I have to add some (...) (21 years ago, 2-Apr-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

In such cases, I just download the files at work and burn the files into CD-RW and bring them home. Is (...) (21 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
