[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] installer script error

[From: MetaVoid von geek]

Hi there,
Im a developer being very hot on Nokia 770 as the www.flipstart.com mini pc 
appears dead in the water.

I do use debian linux, but still a noob when it comes to installing stuff. 
( well, I can do apt-get install )

I can however code c++ and gtk so I feel this urge 
to fiddle around with the SDK.

To get started I read the docs saying I could run install.sh and apparently 
it would download sbox for me giving a complete
toolbox for development & testing for the 770. (right?)

However, when I run the script it says

"Could not compile suid shell aborting."

[]Any hints on what to do?

[]Also, what do I need to have on the host?

  Im running a mini knoppix (http://www.inittab.org/lite.html) containing no 
dev tools like make or gcc.

  []Will this do or does the host have to have compilers etc?

I read the release notes (SMOKE TEST INSTRUCTIONS) saying I could download 
sbox from "blabla",
but in that folder, I got like 4 different deb files and I dont know if I 
need them all or just the one called sboxcore?

Hence I was kinda keen using the install.sh if that would download the stuff 
I need.

In maemo.org/stable/1.0/i386/Maemo_Dev_Platform_RS_i386_relnotes.txt

It lists these steps:

1) install Scratchbox 0.9.8.4
 http://scratchbox.org/documentation/user/scratchbox-0.9.8/

 2) start Scratchbox
 scratchbox

 3) create a new target
 sbox-config -ct i386

 4) select your new target
 sbox-config -st i386

 5) download the released rootstrap
 wget  ...org/stable/1.0/i386/Maemo_Dev_Platform_RS_v1.0_i386.tgz

 6) install the rootstrap to your target and start hacking
 sbox-config -er ./Maemo_Dev_Platform_RS_v1.0_i386.tgz

 7) desktop can be started with command (only with 16 bit (color depth) 
xephyr/xvnc)
 af-sb-init.sh start

[] Is that it? If I do this Im ready to go?
Also, whats a rootstrap? .)
Thanks
