Those packages need to be built first. Some people have built packages for armel but Crush needs lots of work, most of which can't be done properly until after the release of Lenny. To make it sane to build Crush for more architectures, lots of Debian packages need improvements and those fixes are all waiting for the Lenny release. Without those fixes, building Crush is awkward and needs a wide experience of building Debian packages. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
