Juergen, If I used the ptxdist drop nanocom compile I would get this:
davef@davef-laptop:~/Pengutronix12$ ptxdist go ----------------------- target: nanocom.compile ----------------------- make[1]: Entering directory `/home/davef/Pengutronix12/platform-mini2440/ build-target/nanocom-1.0' rm -rf *.o nanocom make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/davef/Pengutronix12/platform-mini2440/ build-target/nanocom-1.0' finished target nanocom.compile ----------------------- target: nanocom.install ----------------------- finished target nanocom.install ---------------------------- target: nanocom.install.pack ---------------------------- ptxdist: warning: PKG didn't install anything to '/home/davef/ Pengutronix12/platform-mini2440/packages/nanocom-1.0' finished target nanocom.install.pack ---------------------------- target: nanocom.install.post ---------------------------- finished target nanocom.install.post ----------------------------- target: nanocom.targetinstall ----------------------------- install_init: preparing for image creation of 'nanocom'... install_init: @ARCH@ -> armel install_init: @PACKAGE@ -> nanocom install_init: @VERSION@ -> 1.0 install_init: @DEPENDS@ -> install_init: preinst not available install_init: postinst not available install_init: prerm not available install_init: postrm not available install_fixup: @PRIORITY@ -> optional ... done. install_fixup: @SECTION@ -> base ... done. install_fixup: @AUTHOR@ -> "Juergen Beisert <juergen\@kreuzholzen.de>" ... done. install_fixup: @DESCRIPTION@ -> missing ... done. xpkg_finish: collecting license (unknown) ... done. xpkg_finish: creating ipkg package ...

I found if I made the changes to the files, quilt refresh, ptxdist clean nanocom and then ptxdist go it worked. I am sure many other people have managed to do this successfully. I was able to work-around my perhaps faulty process and get the result I wanted without frying my hard drive. I'd better write this up before I forget how to do it. Cheers, Dave
