Other comment: Yann, it'd be really great if Crosstool-NG was hosted behind a better connection than a DSL connection. Downloading at 50 KB/s is really frustrating :) Regards, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, Free Electrons Kernel, drivers, real-time and embedded Linux development, consulting, training and support. http://free-electrons.com
