Aha! (picture lucy flipping over backwards as charlie brown screams).

QEMU is a compiler/emulator (like the 8051 dissasembler/assembler program I
ran on an original '80's pc). qemu, builds the arm kernel and compiles all
the programs for arm. At least that is what I see from your response.

Ok then, I let it do it's thing, growing the disk image as needed as it
builds the install image, then I probably create an ISO dvd from that disk -
never mind... I think I saw instructions to transfer via usb later on in the
how-to.

Stuart, ya'll rock. Hey, what up with the hybrid bsd/penguin graphic on my
regular slack 13 i686/smb install? This doesn't have anything to do with
preliminary chrome code I have not heard of yet, does it? Has Slack always
been the best of both? (which is what we were rooting for when I worked for
EDS/Unigraphics in the '85-'95 time range.
