Hi Folks, I have had a lot of trouble just even getting started, my efforts have so far been unsucessful, and I am hoping that posting here, someone will be able to tell me what I am doing wrong. I have access to a Ubuntu Gutsy Machine; so I strapped Debian Etch, mounted the proc file system, bind mounted the dev filesystem and chrooted into the system.
apt-get install emdebian-tools package not found, hmm ... so I checked the /etc/apt/sources.list, it looked ok - I added the US mirror just to be on the safe side, tried again! it didn't work ... Somewhere else on the wiki, there is a mention of using sid, so I try to strap sid, it gets broken halfway - I figure here is something wrong upstream, so strapped etch again, went into the apt/sources.list and changed etch to sid (good idea?) I did a apt-get update, and emdebian-tools shows up in the cache (is this normal ? emdebian-tools only existing in the sid repositories). It did a whole lot of updates, and added the emdebian uk mirrors, it seemed fine but something else went wrong :( and I quit the chroot as it was getting late; somehow all of the updates seemed to have affected the running kernel through the proc file system and I couldn't umount the previously mounted proc and dev, so I ended up restarting. I was wondering if there's a online emdebian 'playground' that I can use to try some simple things like cross compiling packages (pruning dependencies, removing documentation etc.) ? (btw lurking in the chatrooms, there seems to be no one alive =) cheers, ravi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
