You don't have to cross-build anything; you can just use the existing
ISO images for installation. For Debian Woody you can find a detailed
description   (thanks   to    bernhard    Kuhn    for    this!)    at

That could save a lot of time, but is this kernel 2.4-based? The docs
there imply that (buildling a kernel natively section references paths
with 2_4 in them).

We already have a 2.4-based MontaVista, but we're trying to get a 2.6
kernel up and running with NPTL to compare the pthreads performance
differences...

Thanks for the pointer though.
