Hi Brian,
We have installed the ELDK 2.0.2 (ppc_8xx) on Redhat Linux 8.0 without any
problems. I suggest to create and installation CD (ISO image), and begin
the installation from there.
Every thing is covered in the documentation.
Best Regards,
Eli Brin

Subject: Problems installing DENX ELDK
I am trying to setup my tool-chain for embedded PPC development. I am
considering different approaches, one of them using DENX's ELDK.
Regarding the DENX option, I'm not getting very far as after having run the
"get -R eldk-ppc-linux-x86" command as per the installation instructions, I
find that underlying files in the, for example, "tools" directory do not
exist. I therefore cannot proceed with the installation.
Have others had problems downloading and installing (vers 2.0.2) of this
kit? I also found that the directory structure within 'eldk-linux-ppc-x86'
directory is not consistent with what's in the document.
Thanks

I have occasionally encountered problems with the download itself.
I assumed it was my ISP or simply 'net congestion. It seems that
ncftp is not great at informing the user of problems with the
download. I have experienced several times where the 'get ...'
command does not in fact download every file, and it seems to remain
silent about some types of errors. I have seen it terminate more
than once without reporting errors, although not every file was
downloaded.
What I have done in the past is to issue the command repeatedly
until all the files were downloaded. In earlier versions (those
distributed with RedHat 7.x, you could see each file reported as
something like "File already downloaded, skipping..." but in the
ncftp version distributed w/ RH8.0, ncftp is silent about that, too.
I'm sure those more familiar with ncftp could suggest a better way!!
I haven't bothered, because the above works for me.
