Are those pre-compiled modules suitable for the kernel version that ships with maemo 2.1? In any case, my main concern is that the procedure for using scratchbox CPU transparency is currently severely hampered, and I have little hope that an inexperienced developer will realize that the documented procedure for enabling CPU transparency isn't working is because by default the 770 kernel does not have NFS client support. This really needs to be fixed. - -- Buck -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFbeVHPrrWIMa4SMsRArq3AKC+iKd5jtMVxthzeGR3j9CWxS8vzQCgkX5f iaJuqzshtkpTyTCzuttNL+s= =UxIC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
