Thanks all, I have a question , when we build the system, always use host client to build the toolchain , then GCC Glibc ...kernel some unity ... from source ,but where the frist system come from ,does it build using the Assembly language or machine language? I mean just give you X86 hardware and power , no OS, no livd cd . I am afraid it is out of this topic.but it always puzzled me :-) On 26 November 2010 03:47, Mick <michaelkintz...@gmail.com> wrote:
