that's a lot of unnecessary overhead for an embedded system. if i want to add an extra program or two, i just grab the binary from the ELDK distribution. if it's a package that's not part of ELDK, i download the src rpm from yellow dog and use ELDK to cross-compile it, then repeat step 1. rpm really is overkill for an embedded system. rday ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
