I have tried the instructions for building applications using the local overlay and it seems to work well enough for me. I haven't tried building an entire image, because for my purpose scp'ing the application to phone is good enough. I don't know whether this is the right or wrong way, but like you said, in absence of anything better, this is what I plan to use. Thanks for the doc. -- Pranav No doubt it's another 'wrong way' but in the absence of any useful help we > have to find our own solutions :) > > HTH > > Andy / ScaredyCat > > -- ------------------------------ http://pd.dnsalias.org
