Not to wander too far off-topic, but: I found that simply grabbing an ubuntu-core pre-installed filesystem tar file, untar'ing that onto an SD card (or other built-in storage), and then apt-get'ing the rest of the required packages works quite well; no need for these fancy installer things:-) A few small tweaks are required (like ubuntu-core doesn't include enough packages to set up networking) but they're fairly easy to overcome; see: http://www.omappedia.com/wiki/OMAP_Ubuntu_Core#Chroot.27ing_into_the_Ubuntu_Core_Filesystem (thanks to Ogra on #ac100 IRC for the link) _______________________________________________ cross-distro mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-distro
