Yeah - I found some Woody CDs at work, and downloading complete distributions over a 56k modem is not my favourite entertainment:-) > latest release candidate of the debian-installer for Sarge is vastly improved, > especially on platforms that it doesn't explicitly know about. Well, I hope I will be able to try that soon - I've got Sarge running on all my (PC) systems so far - looks pretty good. As for my ARM - Woody results - I've managed it. As the init complained about not finding the inittab and asked for a boot-level, I entered "S", and got a shell prompt! Then I started installing packages by hand guessing the order with dpkg starting with libc6... It went ok, until some of the packages started failing with an error something about "install-info failed: no such file or directory". Digging around, I found out, that /usr/info/dir was missing. So, I copied the header from my PC, then it went further. And I've installed apt-get. After that it was easy - with NBD and apt-cdrom I added all CDs from my PC, at some point around apt-get install -f magically appeared inittab and rc*.d links. So, now I have a running Woody system on my PXA board with package-management, native compilation with 2 compilers and all the rest! I only had to recompile the kernel, well, fewer than 10 times, and reboot the thing, maybe 25 times?:-) It's now running under 2.6.11... BTW, is there an update somewhere available for Woody for 2.6 for ARM? I remember there was such a thing for x86...
