I'm currently on > the road so it's a bit tricky for me to try with Fedora. I'm trying this now with my Ubuntu 12.04 laptop and the same NFS server. Looks like it's working just fine, it's already made it through the first phase of a fresh build (building all the necessary 'native' tools), so I think it will work as expected (it's way past where you had problems). I'll let it complete and report back if there were any problems. n.b. building this way is glacially slow :-( -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
