I think you misunderstood. I wasn't implying RH9 as the "default distribution" for LinuxBIOS. I was simply suggesting that the development tools (gcc, libc, python, etc.) that are supplied with RH9 are a good approximation of the versions required to guarantee a successful build.

Hum ... under certains "embedded conditions" redhat is somewhat heavy to "handle"... ... anyway Linuxbios aims to work on various hardware device (provided that we make it work :) so it is on various linux distribution, isn't it so ? if not, IMHO, it should be :)
And more over, seriously, it will gain even more credibility if it's
proven to work on other distrib.
It is again the same crosspoint : portability on every layer, down from
hardware conformance and standards, up to software versions and "use
conventions".
Enough bla-bla'ing, as soon as I got it compiled and proven work on my
SuSE 6.2 modified (from tail to head), I post the enumeration
soft-components, I'am sure it will be appreciated.

time to write much documentation. I can say that I've built most of the
targets successfully using a stock RH9 (YD3.0.1 for PPC) machine.
That's probably as good a base-line as any.

I've read several documentation on LinuxBios and related projects, though I didn't find out a LinuxBios requirements "true" paper. I still have the 2.4.xx kernel compiling oriented slab that is to say : GNU Make 3.77, ECGS 1.1.2 (GCC 2.91.66), Binutils 2.10, util-linux 2.10.
Also I had a quite old python version (1.1 or so), i got it updated to 2.2.3 when I've seen the python script insulted me while running buildtarget.
What are the "official" requirements ?
What I try to say is that a REQUIEREMENTS file in the source tree
LACKS,
Maybe it lacks also in the site page (IMHO, the early page info should
mention this)...
