That's not what was going on on my dockstar as I was on the serial console and I saw nothing. Whatever was the issue I think it must be something specific to my dockstar setup or even me screwing up something. Whatever it was I'm up and running with current and I'm happy about

I've installed Armed Slack on my Seagate Freeagent Dockstar (1.2 GHz, 128 MB RAM). It should act as building host, so I've installed the needed development packages and already have built some packages there for testing purposes. Works fine, but slow so far. So what would I do next? All
