I've got a basic understanding of how things startup. Use of init or /linuxrc and shell scripts, etc. I don't have the binaries and want to be able to compile the binaries from the sources. I need to know what packages I NEED and where to find the sources for them. RedHat and Debian supply all the sources for the releases. I have been to the LinuxPPC mirror and also found RPM sources. I am currently looking at these these packages are put together by the vendors and they must get the sources from somewhere else. eg. where is the orignal site for "mount" ? I prefer to use a tarball than some proprietry distribution package. Thanks, Brendan Simon. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
