Thanks, I'm building that now.  It has not been easy setting up just a x86 -> 
x86 plain vanilla build to get started.

BTW, where can I read more about the Angstrom distribution - what exactly it 
is, what are its objectives and why it has a name distinct from OE in general? 
  I've searched the OE site:

    site:openembedded.org angstrom

but other than changelogs, no info is there.  And I've read the list archives 
at http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-devel/ and the oldest 
archive and reference to Angstrom is August 2006.  But that reference speaks 
as though Angstrom already existed at that time, implying there are older list 
archives elsewhere I need to read to answer my questions.

Recent threads indicate that Angstrom was a hard-fought issue in the community 
and I'd like to understand why and what it is all about re new functionality.
