Thanks, that got me further, but now I have a 404 message when some 'package' 
is being downloaded from the 'bitshrine.org/gpp' site...

This is one of the worse 'open source' package setups I have seen in quite a 
while, ranging from using RPM's to having packages on a site where there is no 
other access it seems other than with a specific file name, and the 'installer' 
seems to not place things in the correct directories... I'm working on a kernel 
patch, that seems to be in the ISO image 'pkgs' folder, but doesn't seem to get 
to the right place for the ltib build activity.

John.
