Console-tools is approx 120kiB for armv5te, which I think we can fit in. Speaking of hx4700, has anyone tried pH5s 2.6.32 kernel on it? It would be nice to move at least one of our ipaq platforms forward. regards, Koen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFLuZ1QMkyGM64RGpERAt8GAJ45/6QGTV6huBVPLSw/Uq/CO1VvPQCeIjpS xDSIsHM0QHleL7Q4hrHzsrY= =IFhq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel
