I couldn't determine whether you were talking about the Slackware ARM web site or Stanley's. All of the FTP sites listed here permit anonymous access. http://www.armedslack.org/getslack/ There's a link on David's web site which references the old name 'armedslack' which has been removed a while ago - but you get a 'No such file or directory' error which indicates successful anonymous login, but a failure to find the directory. Is that what you were seeing? I've added Stanley and FatDog.eu's URLs to the INSTALL_RASPBERRYPI.TXT document for -current and 14.0 as they're also both great resources. > My only problem is that of cross compiling a kernel, especially since > the host is running 13.37 and I'll probably be running 14.0 on the > R.PI device (target).

You'd need a cross compiler anyway, which is independent from the host toolchain. Unless you want to modify something in the kernel, it's far easier to use one of the pre-compiled kernels. -- Stuart Winter Slackware ARM: www.armedslack.org _______________________________________________ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack
