I'm afraid also the opposite is impossible to do. Anyway, you will be able to do a cross-compiled iso, but due to the ufs endianess-dependency you can't use compressed filesystem or do bootable images from an x86. The toolkit is ready to cross compile, just set the ARCH variable to "powerpc" on the environment or in your freesbie configuration file. > btw if you make any progress/gather any info on this topic, > i'm interested in it too... :) Yes, definitely. Please share your experiences on this topic. I'm also really interested in arm porting, but I don't have any hardware to test with. Bye, D
