Will do.

Missed it. It's a good starting point. Ideally, it'd be nice to have the 
whole source for the current release instead of 1) only having the trunk, 
and 2) depending on so many web sites for packages: If any one of them is 
unplugged or moves/renames files, the trunk won't compile :-/ But then, it 
looks like the whole source code required to build AstLinux is pretty big, 
so that's a lot of disk space.

Latest news: Thanks to your help, I made good progress, and apparently, was 
able to compile the trunk code successfully :-)

However, the IBM thinclient fails booting the image that I flashed onto the 
CF card with the familiar "Operating system not found".

Here's the output of the three steps after running "make ; exit ; 
./makeimage.sh 64":

1. Creating the image file

2. Copying the image file to the CF that already had a Linux partition as 
/dev/sdd1
http://pastebin.ca/868221

3. Deleting /dev/sdd1, and copying the image onto /dev/sdd
http://pastebin.ca/868223

Any idea what's wrong?

Thank you.
