There is no real EmDebian distro yet! As long as there is none we cannot give you detailed instructions on how to set it up. > 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.

Because as far as I know we don't have an i486 toolchain. > whether installing your preferred cross-compile environment will lead me to > the way to set up EmDebian.

But if someone I agree we need to work on the developer-> user communication, but as there are mainly 3-4 people doing some work whenever they have time this is not always easy. > can understand what I am talking about and is willing to help, I'm willing to > try. If possible I am willing to help you, and I hope I can bring some general clarification in the next few weeks. regards, Philippe -- | Philippe De Swert | | Stag developer http://stag.mind.be/ | Emdebian developer: http://www.emdebian.org | | Please do not send me documents in a closed format.
