No. I am not saying *Scratchbox* is failing to install. That went in perfectly, and with several toolchains. I had a blank filesystem ready-to-go with i386 compile tools, however I do not know how to proceed installing EmDebian, and no one here was able to advise. I know several others here are in the same boat, and are hoping that I get an answer so they can use EmDebian too. I am saying that I then resorted to installing your preferred Cross-Compile Environment, in hopes of ascertaining how to install EmDebian, except it fails installing every toolchain except ARM, with the error I posted. At the moment I must have the i486 toolchain. It is busted. And I do not even know whether installing your preferred cross-compile environment will lead me to the way to set up EmDebian. But this is the method I chose to try and figure out how to install EmDebian, since no one here has been able or willing to advise. > > I guess this project is just not ready. > > There are no ready made easy to use projects yet.

I am not hoping for a ready-made project! But I need some means to divine how to install the distro. I can't read minds. The Wiki, assuming it has this setup info, is a confused jumble and makes little sense to an educated newcomer. And almost none of my questions have been answered here. To quote another poster here today, "Please feel free to add this to the wiki (i won't do it)." WTF is that? EmDebian is inaccessible, since your "collection of knowledge" is being kept a secret for some reason. If it's a club, or a priesthood, fsck that, I understand and will get lost. I hate that attitude; people like that are assholes and do nothing but harm the open-source movement. But if someone can understand what I am talking about and is willing to help, I'm willing to try.
