I'll give it a try. What I'm after is putting together a Linaro based training for the Beagle-XM. There are certain constraints, like there might not be internet access, or it might be firewalled for the trainees. (That's not always up to me) So I'm after a way of adding things to the default rootfs and also to be able to build simple examples (e.g. start with a hello world application). The rootfs should be nfs mounted either for a cross setup or a native setup for space reasons. I would like to show how to build kernel and u-boot and would like to load both through tftp. Let's talk more about on the IRC. It might take some time until I'll find proper block of time since my son is on holidays so it will most likely be small junks of time I'll steal from you in the near future.
