Only "attitude" I see in this thread is yours. You got solid advice for being a n00b to the world YOU wanted to join. No one will hold your hand through your entire process and ever single step for your specific desires. There is plenty of info out there how to any and every step. Especially at the level you're looking for, ie beginners stuff. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
