Trying to setup a base root partition

Looking for some advice...

I'm trying to setup a base root partition for my webpal using
bigbrd's webpage instructions.

On a PC with RedHat 6.2, under /home/webpal, I installed
linux-2.4.18.tar.gz, then patched patch-2.4.18-rmk4.gz, then
patch-2.4.18-rmk4-brd.gz

I also installed the "toolchain" cross-2.95.3.tar.bz2 under
/home/webpal/2.95.3

in the linux-2.4.18-rmk4 directory I did a 'make mrproper',
and then a 'make config' choosing 'Y' to only things I
knew I might need, and defaults on the rest.

then I did a 'make dep', and it complained about "arm-linux-gcc",
so I added 2.95.3/bin to my PATH since that is where arm-linux-gcc
is. Tried 'make dep' again, this time it says:

# make depend
rm -f include/asm-arm/arch include/asm-arm/proc
(cd include/asm-arm; ln -sf arch-cl7500 arch; ln -sf proc-armv proc)

If you're using the toolchain pointed to on Bigbrd's page, you should make sure that it lives in /usr/local/arm/2.95.3. That path is compiled into some of the binaries. Or, you could make a link from that location to where you actually installed it.

Did I miss something on BigBrd's page or is this what most
linux newbies (like me)go through? There didn't seem to be
any documentation under /2.95.3 giving any clues on how to
install it.

But tnx, that got me over that hurdle.
