H= ey Im interested in Embedded Linux as well. And i had asked a
lot of questi= ons concerning building the root filesystem about
amonth ago. The only peop= le who answered were Mr.Mitul Lambani and
Chetan S.

I was one of the dudes to hit off t= his thread too and I am still
searching for a lot of stuff on this.

Arre the problem is that apart from searching and getting= info
about stuff there is very little most of us can do. I atleast am just full of
enthusiasm, cuz I haven't got any resources at my hand.

Look, I for one, am unemplpoyed , sitting at home = and
studying(read:dreaming) about being an Embedded Linux Engineer. So, if
= you wanna go ahead with any such projects, Im game. Just that , I
need a li= 'l bit of mentoring to do. Tell the time and place to start
and we'll hit i= t off.

I am immensely interested in Robotics myself. But = I always
thought that there was very limited scope to get invovled in that subject in
India, and I had actually postponed any plans to work on it
for = future.
So, if you have anything in mind for that too, youhave= a "bakra"
just dying to get exploited :-)
