uClinux without Flash (again)

I decided to give uClinux a try on my custom board, but I only have an SD card slot, no CFI. When reading the install guide for uClinux, and when trying it, it won't let me build a kernel project...

I just grabbed the GNUBIN.TGZ file from the NIOS II CD in the linux directory; it seems to have all the binaries needed to build the kernel, however, I have no idea how to setup my environment to run that makefile... I will try messing around with it, but there is no way to get this working in windows I take it?

I also found this site: http://scorpius.homelinux.org/~marc/nios2.html (http://scorpius.homelinux.org/~marc/nios2.html)

It describes a process for building a linux toolchain - is this something I should follow, because it doesn't seem to use the microtronix kernel.
