----------------------------------

And trying with Open Embeded fails with an error relating to gcc being 
too old at 6.3.0! I'm trying a deb buster with a 8.3.0 next, my last 
alternative, damn I wanted one of these to work (preferably the 
first),beginning to think this may be a bust of a way to build something 
simple and very minimal from scratch.

--------------------------------

Well I eventually got it's linux-busybox-syslinux to build a xorriso iso 
on top of a deb buster with gcc 8.3.0 and a pile of other updates, 
somewhat dissapointing really.

Now i'm going to replace the busybox with toybox and see if it's worth 
persevering, not sure really at this point.

Many thanks again Denys for the versions idea, after relooking, there 
was nothing about minimum package versions in their doc's, just packages 
that need to be installed and I had all of them already installed and 
available and it was suppose to build without problems on ubuntu.

I'll use this thread with a report to the list on results found.

regards to all
