The more common alternatives are "Supports several hundred packages" or "Supports hundreds of packages". The latter sounds like a larger amount, so change the phrase to that.

However, the back story is that I pointed someone to the Buildroot website and they got all distracted by the phrasing. I don't know why, but it seemed easy enough to fix.

Many of us are not native english speakers (I am not), so our phrasing might be weird at times. I'm gratefull that someone is providing fixes! ;-) (although I was very afraid by the title "rephrase several hundreds of packages", and I feared that would be a huge patch. It was not! :-) ) Regards, Yann E. MORIN. -- .-----------------.--------------------.------------------.--------------------. | Yann E.
