Hi, glad you managed to get it to work, sorry there hasn't been much
additional development recently.
I had a look at your posting on socialgeek, a few (useful :) )
corrections. Small linux before the 0.9.0 series was based on libc5
however is now based on uClibc. it is pretty easy to compile programs.
Go to www.uclibc.org and grab the build image, mount it and then
chroot in and then compile a program. If you look on the sourceforge
site i have compiled various programs such as links, thy and ncftp.
To get slip working i you are going to need to recompile the kernel,
and then follow this guide:

anything else just shout :)
