(i might even put in a request that the build process check for that and issue a warning to f11 users.) in any event, it's a cool toy, particularly for folks who want to get into android, given the growing popularity of android on linux-based phones. there's an android port for the beagleboard so you have a cheap way of jumping in. the only slight drawback is that, while there's buckets of online docs, sometimes it's hard to track it all down, which is why i wrote this: http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/BeagleBoard if you follow what's there on your f11 system, it should just work. if it doesn't, then i'll fix the page. rday p.s. i even have one of these to go with it: http://focus.ti.com/dlpdmd/docs/dlpdiscovery.tsp?sectionId=60&tabId=2235 in any event, enjoy. i'm just going to make sure that everything that's supposed to work continues to work under fedora. -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
