To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make' 2) select which packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) Use your shiney new root filesystem. Depending on which sortof root filesystem you selecter, you may want to loop mount it, chroot into it, loop mount it and then nfs mount that on your target device, burn it to flash, or whatever is appropriate for your target system. You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! -Erik Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to: Erik Andersen
