Yeah, that's my goal. So theoretically if i change BUILD_ROOT to something
else
(/opt/alpha) and do a sorcery rebuild, then everything new should be built
into
there so that later if I were to chroot to /opt/alpha it would look like:
/usr
/bin
/etc
right?
so that I would have another filesystem there for my use on the cd. Or would
devfs and the others that mount automagically be much harder to recreate on
the cd?
I don't know of anything that will compile arm stuff. That sounds pretty cool
though. Sourcemage on PDA. PDAMage? It's 0639 and I'm all fuzzy. I should
never
be allowed to come to work this early. they should make dr pepper free,
because
i don't drink coffee.
