done: http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/FILESEXTRAPATHS_and_bbappend_files#Adding_the_meta-yocto_layer_and_building_for_a_BeagleBoard i'm already unhappy with the way that whole page is written so i'll redesign it this weekend, and maybe add a bit more. i just remember it taking me a while to truly understand what was happening there so i figured i'd better write it down before i forgot. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
