Well, thanks for the pointers.
I had one question, but you just answered it : why armv5tel vs armv6hl
(so for compat with older arm devices). I just downloaded the pidora
19 rpm tree (http://pidora.ca/pidora/releases/19/packages/armv6hl/os/)
for a local repo on the old IDE-in-a-usb1-case-disk and wanted to use
it for my first round.
But as target for pidora is armv6hl, I'll try that one too.
