Hallo Kees!

The kill part sounds fun.  ;-)

The last distribution I installed and booted was last year.  It was arch-linux 
on a raspberrypi 3 and the consoles were not exactly what I would call 'good to 
go'.  I ended up installing slackwarearm and then doing a 'linux from scratch' 
from there.  It turned out to be the correct answer despite all the additional 
hassel.

This time I am doing a slightly hacked 'cross linux from scratch' using the 
x86_64-silvermont-linux-gnu to build a toolchain that I will chroot to from a 
raspberry pi.  Here is the current evidence;

-={ '<Esc>:read !file /tools/lib/libc-2.28.so' starts }=-
/tools/lib/libc-2.28.so: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 
(GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /tools/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1, 
for GNU/Linux 3.16.0, with debug_info, not stripped
-={ '<Esc>:read !file /tools/lib/libc-2.28.so' ends }=-

So far so good.  The next build will be a 32-bit mips just for fun.  I want to 
see if I can put a chrootable micro-sd drive on the dock of a omega2+ and use 
that to develop native packages for the boot/root system on there which I'll 
probably replace once I know that I can.  It'll be sort of a WRT thing except 
better ... if it works that is.  I already know the aarch-unknown-linux-gnu 
will work on a raspberry-pi ... or at least it used to.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
