Hmm. I'm sure I'm missing something in my attempts to build this... I seem to be making little progress, even given the fine advice that has been rendered on this list. Does anyone happen to have a short (or long for that matter) guide to building one's own image so that I can figure out whether or not I am missing steps in the process? A rough idea of what people are using for a development system might be helpful as well (I have been attempting it on Debian 3.1r2 on a Compaq Proliant). I can always run up another machine just to do AstLinux builds on if it will get things going if the ideal development environment is something different.
