I know this thread is old but just in case anyone is interested... Due to a certain unpronounceable volcano, I had a lot of time sitting around on this trip and I eventually got somewhere. First of all I booted Xubuntu using QEMU on my (work-supplied) Windows PC and used it to follow the instructions on how to build a MeeGo image. This worked better than my previous attempts using my Debian system (now I am back home I may try to work out why and fix the Debian instructions). I decided to try building a CD image this time. The CD image boots using QEMU! Hooray! So, I can now boot into MeeGo. Unfortunately, none of my changes get written back (even if I boot the cd image as a QEMU hard disk) and (as pointed out in other threads) the "install to disk" option doesn't work. My planned next step is to just use tar to clone the booted system to a hard disk image and get that bootable so that I can make changes to the environment. Then, all I need is access to an RPM repository for MeeGo on Intel which has the developer tools I need (svn is the first one so I can access my code). Then I can start actually trying to build some components. Graham _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
