My box at home runs FreeBSD rather than Linux. I have the Linux emulation libraries installed, so I was able to download the arm-linux toolchain package from www.empeg.mars.org and successfully build a few of the examples on that site, and run them on my empeg.

Next thing I want to try is getting PPP running over my wireless modem (Ricochet in the SF Bay area). There is a package on the mars.org site, but it is in some Debian package format that I don't know how to unpack (there's a gzip'd tarball in there somewhere, I just know it ;). Little help here?

I guess going further, assuming I get the package installed on my empeg, does it *NEED* a debian environment to run, or would it work in the standard config using the ppp kernel on the empeg.org site?
