I'm maybe dumb but don't know how/where to start this.
I presume but I'm not sure.

Is there any homepage/documents/forum describing that?
I've never done crosscompiling of any kind(except palm programs under
cygwin in windows) - always installed and compiled on the actual host.

Just checking:
1. insert path to new compiler tools at the begining. OK?
	export PATH="/home/crossdev/i586/i586-pc-linux-gnu/bin:${PATH}"

2. to make my 586's kernel i can then go to /usr/src/linux or whichever
kernel I prefer

3. run 
	make ARCH=i386 CROSS_COMPILE=i586-pc-linux-gnu- menuconfig
	make ARCH=i386 CROSS_COMPILE=i586-pc-linux-gnu- bzImage
	make ARCH=i386 CROSS_COMPILE=i586-pc-linux-gnu- dep
	make ARCH=i386 CROSS_COMPILE=i586-pc-linux-gnu- modules
	make ARCH=i386 CROSS_COMPILE=i586-pc-linux-gnu- ...?

At this point I should have the new kernel somwehere(I will find it).

Then I probably need some other packages to have a minimum(128MB compact
flash) system running. One of those would be 'lilo' Which else?
Where they get compiled?

After compiling everything I should copy some of this compiled stuff on
my CF.

For now that would be all.

Thanks,
Goran
