How to build android-x86 on 32bit PC (4)

You get 'repo' and do 'init', 'sync'.
This is the same as a general procedure in ARM.
The difference is specification of Manifest and the branch that does init.
These, android-x86 is dedicated.
$ sudo su -
# mkdir ~/bin
# curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo > ~/bin/repo
# chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
# mkdir ~/gb86
# cd ~/gb86
# ~/bin/repo init -u git://git.android-x86.org/manifest.git -b gingerbread-x86
# ~/bin/repo sync -j4
-j4 means run 4 threads.
'sync' is so very slow, done in multiple threads is more efficient.
