Somewhere on the net i've seen sentence about "not being too fast" ->
i'll try to look in a store what EXACTLY comes with that Manta.
At least they agree on their forum that it is Linux based.


Heeelllp. Where may I find buildroot-0.9.28(29)? I mean later than
0.9.27 and earlier than 2009.09.

Why am I asking: in buildroot 0.9.27 I have found patches for gcc 3.4.3
and I need 3.4.4 (google at linux-2.6.12.6-venus to see why).
And in 2009.02 earliest version of patches for gcc is 3.4.6. So there is
a "gap" between files available on buildroot download site.

For binutils i need version 2.15.94 which i may find in 0.9.27.

The rest (if I understand well the build process) is relatively simple:
patching config.in with versions i need?
