Ok. Thanks. I'm not familiar with the history of Red Hat. But what you say makes sense in light of what I have experienced over on the FCx mail echo.
I apologize if I "overloaded" you. I'm not going to do it anymore to anyone, I'll just post links to the archives or the old FAQ I have.
I didn't notice any overload.
BTW, I've been doing cross-development since about 1985 (though not using Linux as the development platform).
Umm, I think perhaps you missed the fact that the target system does not run Linux.
I didn't. In fact, I'm glad to see someone else who has used GNU/Linux to target other platforms. [ Love to talk off-list sometime ]
I directed that at Les Mikesell, to whom I replied.
Shoot me an e-mail and we'll talk.
Couldn't this same argument be made for FC2? I've put myself on the Legacy update notification, and have used yum over a dozen times, but not downloaded one single fix.
Well, I've made my recommendation. You're fine with your FC2 setup, tap Legacy if you need to. Consider CentOS 4 when you want to install another development system.
Thanks. My point here was, apparently there is nothing serious enough wrong with FC2 to warrant Legacy fixing, and which I have installed.
I really didn't install much beyond the core, GNOME, KDE, development package (GCC toolset) and Open Office. That's about it.
