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!

Ian
