Actually, I was being rather brain-dead .I've had a nasty case of bronchitis for the last week and its hard to concentrate for more than 15 minutes at a time or even see cleary after an hour). Probably not the wisest time to try and learn a new OS .The last time I ran Linux it was redhat 7 and I was limited to apache, postgres, and php.
I don't need to run emchain at all! Somehow I got the mistaken impression that I had to build the toolchain when, in fact, emsetup had already installed what I needed. I spent the better of three days (at least the parts where I was actually awake) installing and uninstalling linux and emdebian for no reason other than foggy-brain-itis (noob linux'ers syndrome). Its not all a waste though as I learned a LOT in the process. And thanks for making Emdebian in the first place!
