Not to poke at the host [this is a Fedora development list], but why? It would seem that there are better ways to create the embedded environment. Your Beagle board has limited RAM and at best a small SD card - hardly the place for even the smallest Fedora installation. Fedora, as a distribution, isn't really targeted to such a job. There are other tools, such as PTXdist, much better set up for this. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
