I find it hard to believe that any amd64 machine would benefit from Emdebian. If host == build, that is a native build - the only benefit of the Emdebian patches would be to reduce installation size. I don't know of any amd64 laptops that are sufficiently short of disc space to warrant Emdebian. Generally, laptops != embedded. Even netbooks like the Eee and Aspire1 can run Debian. Support for a slightly slimmer Debian for such devices will not exist in Debian or Emdebian until after the Lenny release. > Could anyone from this list to please tell me where and > how shall I start in creating an EmDebian system for an i386 and/or > AMD64 target machine? So which? i386 or amd64? If it is the laptop, please give more information on what resources are available on the laptop and why you think it needs Emdebian. If it is some other machine, note that there are only packages available for ARM right now. Outline support for i386 (Eee PC, Aspire1 etc.) is pending as is mips and mipsel support. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
