Right thanks. 

I was refering to the ARM debian complete fs tarballs provided on the 
TS site, not an x86 installation :roll:

These will contain suitable versions of the packages and aclaimedly 
have a full working toolchain included.

I have some familiarity with apt but I dont seen how I can control 
installing packages on a separte system that does not have apt.

I was wondering if there was a clean way to control dependancy and 
package installation rather than just copying a few files across and 
seeing what breaks.

I dont see the point in using a binary distro if you need to compile 
everything. Especially when I have a "full" debian fs on the 
workstation that I can mount trhough nfs.

Any tips?

TAI.
