I think we're talking about two different things here, so just in case I'd clarify the difference. Point two is about using bitbake to somehow pull a big pile of prebuilt binary packages from the net and assemble a target image out of them. I don't like that at all. On the other hand having a yocto-based binary distro, e.g. a target image with package management which feels like the traditional linux distributions is fine with me. I'm not particularly interested in it, and I'm also not sure it can work well, but people are welcome to work on it if they find it interesting or useful. Alex
