Hello all- For any one interested I ahve just finished a first draft of a howto for the LBE. It is sketchy in places, like the complete list of what all the variables do an which are required in the package.def. But I think it should be able to get some one up and running with it at least enough to start experimenting. Please point out bugs, uglys and place where it is just plain wrong.
Evan
not a bad start. A couple of comments follow.

LBE USAGE README
Quick and dirty usage:
----------------------------
1: Download CVS
2: Change to lbe/ directory
3: Run ./build_all; go get coffee
4: mkdir lbe/ltsp-src/yourpkg 5: create package.def in yourpkg dir.
you may also want to add yourpkg to the approprate package_list.
Hmmmm. I have been able to build the kernel. It will not "install" currently I am hand copying things into lbe/initrd and making my changes there.6: In ltsp-src run ./build --only=yourpkg
Now for the details:
-------------------------
1: INSTALL
You will need to get the current LBE source from CVS. It is available at:
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvsroot checkout -r LTSP-4_1_0 lbe
The CVS should give you a directory called lbe/. Cd to lbe/ and run ./build-all. This will build the LBE toolchain and environment. Go get the beverage of choice and consider watching tv 'cus it is going to take a while.(~ 3hrs. on a P4-2.5ghz)
NOTICE>> You will get errors when it tries to build the kernel. Currently the kernel build is not correctly automated. So at the moment you can not build the full LTSP due to kernel and initrd. <<NOTICE
Are there any plans on how to get from the current state to where it it possible to build a complete kernel and initrd?
I have added a bunch of stuff in to support Dlink G520 cards but is there any way to handle conditional builds?
