Well, there's a /scratchbox/users/hendrik now. >> One relevant point: The instructions said, "when it asks for users to >> add to scratchbox, just choose your user (and whomever might want to do >> scratchbox development on the box)."

Things are not behaving as I expect from the instructions. Running the next commend in the list gives me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sb-conf rs mistral-armel /scratchbox/packages/mistral-armel-rootstrap.tgz You dont have active target in scratchbox chroot. Please create one by running "sb-menu" before continuing sb-conf: No such target: mistral-armel sbrsh-conf: No current target [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ And sb-menu gives me a lot of choices without explaining what they mean. What, for example, is a target? If 'mistral', 'bora', and 'chinook' are targets, isn't setting them up what these instructions I'm following are supposed to do? It looks as if things have changed since these instructions were written, or else that my installation has been derailed somehow and I should wipe it and start over, with a different debconf priority. I feel like I'minstalling slackware again, but without the handy few pages of paper telling me what's going on. Is there documentation somewhere that could tell me what's going on behimnd the scenes? -- what all these commands do and need to do? > By the way, if you run a recent distro with a recent kernel, you'll get > other problems in the future. Errors like I'm running lenny with its up-to-date kernel.
