[ARMedslack] Which packages to install for gcc/make/etc ?

sorry, my bad what I was meaning was the script the installer runs, not the
actual files needed to get a boot system running. Mind you I decided to try
- and see - what happens if I pinch the x86 slackware setup/install script
(where you get to choose the packages to install, the keymap, partition,
etc) and try that. I have it partially working, the script used is easy to
copy off the x86 install :);

Here's a sort of really quick 'n' dirty howto;

* use qemu and boot a slackware x86 dvd (and also to use a normal usb stick
as a 'pretend' hard drive).

* copy /usr/lib/setup to the usb stick

* copy /sbin/probe to the usb stick (its just a script :) )

* transter that to armedslack on the efika mx (yes, still working on it!)
into directory /usr/lib/setup

* replace /sbin/pkginstall in armedslack with the one from the x86 installer
(it's just a script, but the armedslack one lacks the -root option)

* copy probe into armedslack's /sbin

* mount the usb stick on the efika mx somewhere, e.g. /tmp/0

* install choosing /dev/mmcblk0p2 as the place to install and a pre-mounted
directory to install from.
