What's the problem with the existing ext2 support? Ulf> It creates the file in $(BINARIES_DIR) and not on the SD-card. Ulf> It would make sense to allow creating a CF-card as well. What's the difference between CF and SD card support? The big difference between putting stuff in BINARIES_DIR and on some block device is permissions. You can do everything in buildroot without root permissions, let's not change that. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
