Hi Harald, I was thinking of doing something similar, but the only experience I've had installing a system manually was with Linux From Scratch, which is way too different (and I don't want to end up with a compile-based system in my 200MHz O2 ;-)
Can you please elaborate a little on the steps you took to accomplish this? Does debootstrap set up the basic system software, esp. glibc, init, apt and arcboot? Thank you :-) On Sunday 27 March 2005 21:38, Harald van der Werff wrote: > Hi, all! > > I had the same problems, and used the already mentioned solution: ran > fdisk, mkfs.ext[23] and mounted the new partitions at /target.
