Hello. I am trying to help a friend out by installing gcc on a
LAN at his high school back home.

I have a few questions that I desperately need answers for???

What sort of limitations does gcc have? That is, what sort of IBM
clones with what sort of operating systems is it possible???

i can get the source code. That is not a problem.
Now.....how do I compile it?? Could someone please send me
email explainging how to handle this "bootstrap" thing????
What is I don't have a C compiler already??

Please respond if you can help me. This is urgent.

Thanx in advance
