All of the open source work we do we push out to the community tree immediately. That's a rule we live by and there's no exceptions. The Ocelot code was pushed out back then. Since then I've seen lots of additions to that directory and obviously something got broke. QED did receive an Alliance CD with the Ocelot LSP on it, so they should be able to provide you with a copy of the cdimage, including the source. But the kernel will be 2.4.2 based though -- I don't know where the 2.4.0 came from. > Tho here's a question: What is the best compiler to build a kernel > with? I've built all mine with egcs-2.91.66 which I downloaded from > oss.sgi.com a while ago. MontaVista's, but I'm biased ;-) The toolchain will be on the CD as well. Pete
