Ah sorry, I thought I'd replied to this one already.

Hmmm... download.sh here just grabbed all the packages from the local  
copy of the mirror on my netbook, so if nothing else they're all  
mirrored on landley.net...

Which tarball is it looking for?

Which mkdir error? (I'd like to reproduce this and fix it...)

Odd. I just did:

   wget http://landley.net/aboriginal/downloads/aboriginal-1.2.2.tar.bz2
   tar xvjf aboriginal-1.2.2.tar.bz2
   cd aboriginal-1.2.2
   ./build.sh i686-virtio
   more/run-emulator.sh i686-virtio

And it's sitting at a shell prompt in the emulator.

How do I reproduce this?

It seldom does. All the environment variables it removes are ones the  
build doesn't use.

Ok, so it's presumably not a toybox bug then...

Could you cut and paste the error messages, and maybe tell me what  
distro you're trying it on? It's built for me on Ubuntu and SLES here...
