I have, since making a little progress. But I've forgotten what it's like to have a weekend, since the Bush Economy II. > I wrote a usingSNP page in the wiki (linked from the page i cited > yesterday -- > http://www.emdebian.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/RootFileSystem?#How_large_can_I_let_my_system_be > ) so in case you want to use SNP, you could have seen the pointer to a > simple example. I did see this, and thanks, but it is the distillation of what you know, into the core process. Imagine if I changed all the words on that page randomly; would you understand it? A n00b needs a perspective of what's being done and why, in order to understand the meaning, and how to adjust for other conditions. I imagine you ascertained these commands from the Readme's, and so I may too. Hopefully then these instructions will make sense. You have confirmed though that SnP is the way to go for binaries, apparently. I'd gone through the past 4 months of listserv archives, but no assistance there for my questions. > Why do you need a cross-compiler for i486 in the first place?

My intention is to accomplish not just the task at hand, but in the process to make a development environment that allows quick portage to any architecture. Trying to build a solid foundation, rather than take a route prone to error. Unfortunately though, the Cross-Compile Environment gcc refuses to compile as previously reported, which throws the whole distro into doubt since this is the environment recommended. I've invested about as much time as I can afford for tools. (three 12-hour days) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
