Thanks for the info, Damion.

I could go further by disabling the "flashloader" option and
installing the dev86 package obtained from RedHat (I'm running the
Fedora Core 2 as the host). But now I've got this error:
"
...
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/snapgear/user/mtd-utils'
gcc -I/usr/include -c -o build/compr_rtime.o compr_rtime.c
compr_rtime.c:27:27: linux/string.h: No such file or directory
...
"
The build process had been using "i386-linux-gcc" before this error,
why did it switch to "gcc" all of a sudden? Also, it seems looking at
a wrong folder for the string.h file. Any idea why this happened?

Thanks again!
