Thanks for the advice Robert!

I am currently working thru the same page, more or less as a student
:-) And you suggestions sound excellent. I would be interested to
hear you advice on selecting Kernel build options, from the menu. Do
you think there is such a thing as a "default" configuration ??
   NOTE: if people insist on top-posting, then for the sake of brevity,
i'm going to wipe out everything below what i'm replying to. come on,
folks ... top-posting is really frowned upon.

   anyway, i'm currently going over RCN's kernel recipe for the BBB
using his "build_kernel.sh" script and i'm just going with the
defaults as they are, since my goal is simply to get a bootable
system. once all that's done, then i'll go back and look at tweaking
kernel options.

Hi Robert,
Not all lists frown on top posting, most do not.

I'll try to explain the rationale from the position of having deal with many hundreds of emails a day encompassing diverse topics and lists in over 100 local email folders.

I am already familiar with the previous threads and do not have to read them again.

If someone bottom posts I ignore the top ones and scroll down to the latest comment as that is almost always all I need to completely understand the flow.

With a top post, I've got the message immediately.
Regards
Sid.
