Hm. Actually I have the problem that I always do not know exactly whether
to take the old gcc or the elf egcs. I will have a try.

Well I did not mean only Phil, I meant the whole arm linux developer
community, I should have made this more clear.

rmk-2.
I would also try to compile a more recent kernel, but as some people wrote
in the mailing list that they have such a kernel successfully running I took
this.

Hm. But I do not have enough knowledge to make the new devices by hand.

I think I should excuse me for being so unpolite. Yes it is not rubbish,
but if you have some friends with WCs and they have no problems running
kde and using programs which need 100+ MB Ram you do not get the impression
that it is very useful.

I think none can expect you doing distributions. But it would be nice if
enough information would be provided how to do it. I certainly spent already
24 hours trying to compile a running kernel! That is not very motivating.
