I found User Mode Linux very useful for distributions you don't want to
do a real installation of.
Just go to
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/dl-sf.html
and get the UML package
user_mode_linux-2.4.19.5um-0.i386.rpm
plus a root filesystem, in this case Debian
Debian-3.0r0.ext2.bz2
and follow the few instructions to get a running Debian inside your
normal Linux.
Once you've grown the root fs (it's only 60 MB) and set up network
connection, you can apt-get all the compiler stuff an start building
root.
I have a little page that lists all the Debian package names I found
necessary when installing some H1 software in my UML-Debian:
http://www-h1.desy.de/~strauch/computing/notebook/development.html
Hope this is useful ;-)
Cheers,
Ingo
