Moving along Well, I ran the tutorial again and found the error again, so I installed gcc again and it worked. So I was able to make world and then I did make install and got another error, so I installed patch and it is now doing its thing so I believe I might get lucky.
problem with xen install After "make world" command, everything seemed to be going fine but after a couple of hours of compiling I got an error that said "no enough space" to continue. I originally used an 18GB scsi drive. Changed to a 36GB scsi drive and retried but the same issue appeared. It seems though that it came at a different place in the compilation.
problem with xen install Thanks for your reply, Falko. I kept running out of space every time I tried to "make world" so I decided to reinstall debian with automatic partitioning. I also added the following to the Config.mk file: CFLAGS = -fno-stack-protector -mno-tls-direct-seg-ref before attempting make. It worked. I am moving along now buddy! Thanks for the manual by the way. It would have been very difficult without it.
problem with xen install Just when things were going well, i got a problem with setting up the template for the base system as of page 3. After successfully downloading from ftp2.de.debian.org/debian, found that when i apt-get install localesconfig, it does not exist, and when I tried to base-config, i get a terminated message. Any idea? I will try to create a base from another source in the meantime.
