Very cool and thank you for the reply.  For a long while now, months, I
felt I was the only person that looked at this mail list.

My idea here is to update the wiki page in such a way that a person with
half a clue could follow along some steps and get a repeatable result.

I managed to do this once thus far but I had to stray way off the path
of that page and make numerous mistakes and night after night of
attempts. However eventually I have a qemu bootable image.


However I get a machine ( a qemu guest ) with no compiler tools. So that
is a real problem.

I have not been able to reproduce the result.

I just followed the wiki page precisely.

There were no suggestions on the wiki page to not do anything as root.
However no reason why it should not just work.

I am trying to reproduce a bootable reasonable result with native
compiler tools also.
