No. You will need a Lenny or Sid debootstrap to create a chroot and then install emdebian-tools in there. I would recommend Sid as there are important bug fixes pending for dpkg-cross, emdebian-tools and apt-cross which will take another 10 days to get into Lenny. IIRC debootstrap in Etch supports creating a Lenny chroot which you can then upgrade to Sid. Various bugs in the Etch versions of dpkg-cross and dpkg have been fixed in Lenny and trying to upgrade the system to use the current versions is likely to require an almost complete upgrade to Lenny anyway. In particular, dpkg-cross has been completely re-written since Etch and apt-cross is also missing from Etch. Both are fundamental to emdebian-tools. Lenny will release with emdebian-tools support but I must strongly recommend *against* trying to do any cross-building on Etch. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
