I have pulled down the 386 cross-compile tool kit(precompiled) and linux latest. I'm what you guys would consider a GREEN-horn at this. Following the documentation that has been provided I've set up a drive, got it to boot from the drive, built 2 kernels and I'm currently running the last one, so if you needed a green-horn test, I qualify.
I'm still a little confused about this port/cross-compile deal though. The moving over that is left to do, is it done by running stuff through this cross-comp deal or is most everything that is being done still C-code editing? Other words, do you need someone with time on there hands or a C-code editor?
Is the STI-Console still meant to be a messege center only or Interactive?
Is there anymore doc on how to use the dpkg-cross deal? The README left me still foggy!
I bought this box with nothing on the hard drive so it was try Parisc-Linux or buy HP-UX, that's why I am working at this so
hard. Thanks for your time, Patrick

no, we don't build cross-compiled debian packages... all the ones now are compiled natively.
