Re: Compiling Linux under emulated environment

["Mr. dustin Kick" <vieuxnez%gmail.com@localhost>]

Well, I have tried "chroot /emul/linux", and that has failed outright.  I don't know if there is a way to do that with some argument I don't know about, or ln-s'ing the netbsd kernel or part of the subsystem would be, but for now, I don't know of a way.  If you are saying it is possible to chroot into emulated linux, I'd be very happy if you could point me to some documentation that would head me in the right direction to do so. 

Thanks
Dustin
