Use The Cow Patches With Oe!
« on: December 06, 2004, 06:38:20 am »
Just a quickie to say that if you're developing with OE with less than stratospheric amounts of RAM (I've only got 256MB), apply the cow patches to OE and Packages (http://www.frankengul.org/~seb/cow/).

It considerably reduces memory usage and therefore makes OE run a hell of a lot faster (scanning the cache now only takes c.20 sec rather than 5min!).

Sounds fantastic. Would you provide the exact commands for patching? Thanks a lot

Cheers
