I figured as much but was worth asking :P I hate reinstalls, thanks as always though.
Side note though I finally got my first recipe to almost work it creates an ipk and i can install to an existing image but the program doesnt run right so I messed up configuring it but I am getting closer to getting a grasp for once. Now if I can just figure out whats giving me my last couple errors on the image I want and then go back to figure out how to get the packages that wont build that i need to build from the existing recipes.
