Hi, No, I haven't tried the binary distribution. I am more interested in the process of creating a minimal distribution that I am in just getting something running. The problem I am really interested in is this one where companies who produce hardware like home routers are forced to maintain a fork of a linux distribution like debian and handle the whole process of producing security patch updates themselves, and do this forever, or drop support for old hardware. So it's the T2 build system I'm more interested in than the software it builds, though of course the software it builds is important in the end, so if that doesn't work then it's game over, but I presume that it will work to some extent!
