Thanks for that...but I am such a novice, I'm a little scared and feeling out of my league in this yet, I gave it a try as per the instructions on that page. They seem to use the unstable version as an example but I couldn't figure out a way to point that to the stable version to build my 64-bit userland. In any case, I followed the instructions. But when I got to chroot, I got a bunch of errors (pasted in the end of the email): As you can see below, they all talk about libc6 not being installed, when I have them all installed:
Should I remove libc6 and libc6-dev and only the sparc64 versions should be there?
