I'm not sure > why it's being done this way - let's ask admins :) i only brought this up since i was getting a bit confused as to what were valid URLs and websites for OE. as i mentioned earlier, some of the top-level links at http://openembedded.org/ (eg., "OpenEmbedded", "OpenZaurus" and "G(PE)^2") all appear borked. at the very least, my ISP claims that they don't resolve. and i ran across wiki.openembedded.net strictly by accident, but it's obvious that it's still active, as there are recent news articles from just last month. however, it's just as obvious that some of that info is out of date. here: http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/OEandYourDistro some of the distros listed there really are long gone (fedora 2/3/4), and documenting them probably has little value. and as for fedora 11, some of the listed "necessary" packages really aren't. in particular, it appears that the "python-psyco" package doesn't even *exist* anymore in f11. just an observation. but glitches aside, a lot of that info is useful and should be more obviously available. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
