Random hacking notes for getting Fedora 10 to kinda work with the BeagleBoard. ;)

Patches: http://rcn-ee.homeip.net:83/fedora-patches/

Patch fedora 10 root file system

rpm

Note; this can be improved by patching rpm directly and rebuilding, however just to get things running this is fine.

Recommended Tools to have Downloaded before First boot

dhclient = http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Everything/arm/os/Packages/dhclient-4.0.0-30.fc10.armv5tel.rpm

wget = http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Everything/arm/os/Packages/wget-1.11.4-1.fc10.armv5tel.rpm

nano = http://rcn-ee.homeip.net:81/dl/fedora/fc10.0/RPMS/armv7l/nano-2.0.6-4.fc10.armv7l.rpm

Building packages

in most cases build your packages for armv5... (not everything works when built as armv7l)

rpmbuild -ba --target armv5tel dejagnu.spec


armv7l

Note; this is just my first pass at rebuilding all rpm's, so things are bound to break, and they will, and they have. So only dive in head first if you don't mind.

Add to fedora.repo
