37 Definatly strange, because libstdc++ comes with gcc. I installed three machines
38 with that sys without having those problems.
39 But I use a script to make all the neccesary settings to start. I will try to
40 do it manualy as documented and update
41 the docs if neccessary.
42 Thanks for the bug-report.

62 In rc3 we had the following packages addidtionally to the sys-* stuff.
63
64 joe (for those who can't vi),
65 rsync,cvs,wget,openssh,openssl,strace,w3m,unzip,net-telnet,ftp,lftp.
66
67 All these are not required to compile the stuff in sys, so that's why it is not
68 there. sys only contains
69 the stuff required for a minimum runtime-system that is able to recompile
70 itself and to build everything else.
