and the uClinux-dist is simply a set of Makefiles to build an image that included the kernel and some applications. the term "uClinux" to refer to the Linux kernel is horribly antiquated and really needs to die. the kernel coming from uClinux.org nowadays is simply another vendor kernel ... it's full of patches to add drivers, boards, and fix bugs in random arches. you can take the kernel from kernel.org and run it on a Blackfin system unmodified. -mike _______________________________________________ uClibc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/uclibc
