Please don't take the above as a criticism of the "How Do I" concept, as I said at first, I appreciate you doing it - I understand it takes some considerable additional time to publish it. The goal is clearly to make things easier for others when they attempt what you're doing. I saw something in there that might not fit the goal and raised it as a point of improvement, that's all. > Please feel free to edit what I put there or remove it. I've CC'd Scott R. to review and see if he might care to adjust things a bit. I certainly don't want to remove it :) -- Darren > > Jim A > >> -- Darren >> >>> >>>> I'm interested to see what more was needed for EMGD and >>>> Crownbay than is already in the BSP README. >>>> >>>>> >>>>> In my opinion, we need to think about breaking this one big >>>>> edit up into individual How Do I's.
