PPChameleonEVB Newbie question

[Adrian]

Hi Folks.

I'm a newbie to embedded and am getting stuck.

I have a PPChameleonEVB board running a 405EP processor.

I have tried many things, and can now boot Linux 2.6.15 on the board using 
an NFS share as both root fs and swap.

When I try to compile & install the kernel modules on the board, i get an 
message about perl and then it errors.

So i'm trying to install perl. And failing.

Can someone tell me the following please, from a working setup (i.e. where 
you can compile/install kernel 2.6.15 + modules) :-

1) Kernel version/Linux distroof the i386 PC used for the cross-compiling.
2) ELDK version and if there are any patches needed.
2) Perl version (or how to stop the Kernel build using perl)

I'm using Slack 8.1, kernel 2.4.18 and perl 5.6.1 on the cross-compiler pc. 
Anything newer fell apart a lot earlier.

Many thanks in advance.
