I was hoping for a a little more explanation on how to use the buildroot
environment. Cross compiling is new to me. I have used Gentoo to build a HTPC
environment but it ends up with over 1 GB of diskspace. Instead of striping
the Gentoo environment, I thought it would be better to build a minimal,
clean system from the ground up. I'll need a lot of packages that don't come
standard with buildroot. So, I guess I have to learn about buildroot by
experimenting to e.g. include kernel headers for the latest 2.6(.15) kernel?
Life would be easier if there were HOWTO's and examples available.


Anyway, thanks for the answer,

Richard.
