The SELF tarball on our FTP server is the "old" versio, which assumes that you buile everything from scratch, i. e. from the pristine source tarballs. With the ELDK installed, all these tools (in one version or another) are ready available, so we can safe the effort of recompiling everything. > only contains PATCHes, I turned to ELDK2.0.2 and found that there are > two RPMs they are: > SELF-ppc_8xx-xxx.ppc.rpm > busybox-ppc_8xx-xxx.yyy.ppc.rpm Busybox is used to build the SELF RPM, but SELF is complete in itself. > I think they will contain all source codes of SELF. No. These RPMs contain the binary RPMs. > I typed ./install -d /opt/ELDK202 ppc_8xx to install ELDK, but I > can not find other SELF-related files except for two pRamdisk files in > opt/eldk202/images.

Either you can use the ramdisk images that come with the distribution, or you can build your own by rebuilding the SELF RPM. See the instructions for recompilation of ELDK packages. You can check out the build environment from our CVS server. Hope this helps.
