Hi,

http://trac.64studio.com/pdk/wiki/HowTo

You will need to be running lenny or ubuntu (hardy)
Once you have followed the tutorial
you will have a snappy basic desktop using just 1.1 gig.
I made the build using ubuntustudio.
Prepare to be patient during the download part,
and the workspace used 2 gig's of space,
which can be reduced once you have done the initial download.
If you are interested in 64studio development please take a look.

CheckOut PDK

Cheers,
dave.

Why should I have debian lenny or ubuntu hardy running for it? 64studio is based on Debian stable isn't it? So it is now possible to build a 64studio on Debian testing?


Not just yet

Hi,

Not just yet, but thats the idea when the next 64studio is released, (based on lenny).
PDK is being prepared so that you "will" be able to build, and maintain 64studio,
and other projects... The ubuntu based build is working fine right now.
Because of a bug in lenny, building on lenny is not ready yet. It is being worked on.
At the moment it's just a chance to get to know how the development system works.
To find out where the project is up to, see this.

The new mailing list is here.

Edit: PDK has been upgraded and is working fine here on lenny & ubuntu.

Cheers
dave.
