Re: Success With Crosstool

Its on my list of things to do.
I wish they had stuck to more of a pure debian basis,
and this renaming everything to recipes is a really "different"
approach. I will try it, see how it flows. A debian meta package
that gets it up and flowing would be nice. The other issue is
that the NSLUG package has removed support it appears for
other hardware. Yes I can cut and paste, but does not make it
a "open" package.

Snapgear is very very popular. And is where most people start,
its our corporate "standard" so to speak.

I'm not that big of a Redhat Fedora fan, but if the fc3 port has ixp425
that would be nice. A big fat respository of precompile big and little endian
code regardless the distro is very nice.
