well. its really not that big a shakes now that Chris has come forward with a lot more pertinant and required info. Personally think it would be possible/advisable to port a decent writing application across while one was at it.
Chris has updated the info for the initramfs stuff which was a big stumbling block. I could just throw the changes at buildroot I suppose.
Don't have a mini usb keyboard, or I would have done it before now.
simple as that really. excited about the prospect of mini usb however for the audio support component on the non audio devices.
maybe I'll do a bit of ebay surfing this month see about getting a mini kb for the sake of testing. Not high priority though for me I must say.
