 ... which is also not ideal, since it means that the URL can't be copy&paste'd
easily, and that people with a modern terminal that is more than 80 characters
wide can't ctrl-click (or whatever) to open the URL directly.

 So I think it's best to use the slightly shorter nightly URL and keep it
non-wrapped.

 Or actually, it's best to add a manual.html -> downloads/manual/manual.html
symlink to the website and refer to that. This fits easily:
http://buildroot.org/manual.html#faq-no-binary-packages
And it also makes it easier for us to refer to the manual in other places.

 Peter, what do you think of such a symlink?


 Regards,
 Arnout
