Problems with initial Build

[Stuart Poulton]

Dear All,

Just started OE, looking at using it to build a distro from ALIX boards.

I've followed the initial instructions on

http://oe.linuxtogo.org/wiki/GettingStarted

bitbake nano  , this works fine.

bitbake task-base , however throws the following 

bitbake task-base

Checking kernel.org, it appears that the correct path for this file is:

http://kernel.org//pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/v2.6.24/patch-2.6.24-rc5.bz2

Help and pointers to resolve this gratefully received.

Cheers
