can't install i586-elf

[Solomon]

Hello.
Please help me. I need i586-elf but I can't understand how to install it. I use http://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compile ... bian_Linux but it says http://www.tucs.org.au/~jscott4/debian/ ... 6/Packages 404 Not Found when I try sudo apt-get update.
Thaks.

Well, it does say the packages are broken....

Why not just download the source and compile it for yourself? It's a useful excercise in any case.

Please tell me were can I get manual for that. I try http://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler and chapter - Step 1 - Bootstrap . But I don't fully understand what to download.. I download this gcc-core-4.6.3.tar.bz2 from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc - /gcc-4.6.3/ and unpack to usr/src.. and I get empty folders after mkdir build-binutils build-gcc.. I'm new. Sorry for stupid questions. Thanks!

I'm not sure that I can improve on those Wiki instructions. If you follow them they should just work. Don't worry about the empty folders; they are meant to be empty at that stage.

But it's looks like end of instruction for linux.
/usr/local/cross/bin/i586-elf-as: No such file or directory
/usr/local/cross/bin/i586-elf-as: No such file or directory
/usr/local/cross/bin/i586-elf-gcc: No such file or directory
/usr/local/cross/bin/i586-elf-gcc: No such file or directory
/usr/local/cross/bin/i586-elf-gcc: No such file or directory
/usr/local/cross/bin/i586-elf-gcc: No such file or directory
/usr/local/cross/bin/i586-elf-gcc: No such file or directory
/usr/local/cross/bin/i586-elf-ld: No such file or directory
Few hours spend, search and nothing( I need them for make kernel.. Must be solution..

Have you followed all of the instructions, including the "make" and "make install" parts? Obviously those files won't exist until you have made the programs and installed them in /usr/local/cross. At what point do you get those messages?
