[Peeweelinux] Package format / Sharing packages

[John Murphy]

A big thanks to Troy for posting his howto
for the 2.4 kernel on this list.  The directions are
great.

Can I add any odd packages I need by simply creating a
"sparse tree" skeleton filesystem with respect to
/ and adding the files, tarring it up, and
adding a matching xxxx.list file?  I really don't want to
learn the finer points of .rpms.

Second, I was wondering if the group passed around or
shared some of the new packages they have built (as
I've built a new 2.4 kernel)...  Obviously, for professional
applications there is a need to build it from scratch, but
for my wee little home toys, it would save a lot of time ;)

Thanks again for the support.  This seems to be one of the 
better supported and more sensable embedded linux
distributions that does not require a big monetary investment.
Hopefully I can contribute something at some point.

Thanks,
murph
