Hey Folks, Thanks for your assistance again! I've been @ work till 1400 (CET) then read what you both suggested, and applied it. Build is still going, so will see what happens, and keep you posted!
At the moment, I'm wondering, if t's this difficult to get a HowTo right, how can Angstrom go on further? I'm putting hours into this, because it sounds like a good project. As I learn more, I hear people reporting bugs that are ignored? Software requests never noticed? Or just overlooked? Firefox on Angstrom? Brilliant! The guy can build it, many others would like to bring ideas in, but if we can't get the basics right, how will this help? My impression at the moment is the Dev's are just doing what they like and ignore the actual userbase. Well, I'll re-phrase that, 'potential' userbase. PUT the brakes on. What do we need? First, good USB support. Drop all the kernel drivers u like, but keep everything net/usb/cf/sd related. I'm building here (or trying to) to get a basic kernel USB NET driver working. Think about the devices, drop the stuff u don't need, and put the rest in. A device needs email, contacts, some basic word processing, maybe a spreadsheet, Mutimedia, PDF viewer, and what else? I'm seeing a tonne of stuff in the repo that DOES NOT NEED TO BE THERE!!! Strip Angstrom down, clear out the rubbish (Asterisk? Who needs that in the feeds?) and get back to basics. The Dev's seem deaf to users, I've asked for help and the Users list is more assistance than Dev's. Can I plug my mobile phone into my Zau and connect easilly? Can I Hell! My impression at the moment is the Angstrom Dev's have to wake up, and FAST, or this is another dead project. Very soon. In the mean time, to all the user support, thanks Bon 2008/8/26 Stanislav Brabec <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Andrea Adami wrote: > > I did only notice now the bug.... > > > > it looks exactly like the (ignored) issue I reported here: > > > > > http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/angstrom-distro-devel/2008-July/002416.html > > > > My solution is *not* to follow the 'building-angstrom' instructions > > Well, don't follow it as well and use the version from the mtn > repository only with a minimal changes (I don't set TMPDIR).
