Hey John,

A "404 message when some 'package' is being downloaded" is not that 
helpful of a description, I doubt even a clairvoyant could infer much 
about the specific file you're trying to get.  Also you don't say which 
BSP you're using? As you mention an ISO, it's probably from Freescale in 
which case it's quite likely there are files they reference that are not 
in the GPP.  It this is the case, please ask them for support.

If you don't like the project, either supply patches to make it better 
or go elsewhere and find something you do like.
