They were not aware of any 'meta-altera' layer (which is madness). I am attending an Arrow training day in the coming weeks (where they give this board out for free) so it will be interesting to see if you get anywhere with this as I will be incorporating my own distro, and as such need a fully layered approach. If you still need me to ask any questions in a couple of weeks I will do so for you. Cheers, Jack. -- Jack Mitchell (jack@embed.me.uk) Embedded Systems Engineer http://www.embed.me.uk --
