Comment 35 for bug 279186

I'm a newbie to linux development so I'd have to learn quite a bit to follow the above instruction. I'm guessing that 'git' means something like 'get latest version of code from source repository' and 'make' invokes the compiler and linker but I don't know what the "(no's)" refers to. There's some other things I'm puzzled by as well. Also, If building the code on your system takes 3-4 hours, on the atom it might take 8 or longer.

I'm guessing that to run these instructions in the terminal application, I'd need to be running 8.4.1 on the hard drive (not the live cd) and that after running the instructions, the system might not boot any longer. So I'd need to image the drive first and then restore the drive from the drive image after the test. I don't actually have a spare machine, so I could see this putting my main machine out of commission for a day or longer.

It sure would be a lot easier for me if someone has a live CD iso with the build already on it. I could very quickly burn a CD with the iso and report back what happens when I try to boot off of it.
