I'm compiling on device but some programs need gcc 3.x instead of 4.x. Anyone know how to get gcc 3.x for angstrom besides having to compile it myself. It's not in the repo.

My main problem is with qemu. I've successfully compiled the latest version but it won't boot hard disk images. It's fine with iso's but refuses to make hard disk images (even those made with qemu-img) readable by windows installers or bootable.

A post in the n900 forum said this was the same for the n900. Another website said that qemu has problems on arm processors after version 0.9.1. I've tried to compile 0.9.1 but it won't build with gcc 4.x and the configuration says to use gcc 3.x.

This has been absolutely frustrating!!

I used a prebuilt bochs binary to install win 98 and it works except that it doesn't have the vbe extension so you can't get better than vga and (I think) 256 colors. Again I compiled bochs on the device but it also wouldn't read or boot hard disk images.

Q2: what on earth I am doing wrong??
