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.

Thanks!
