LNX-BBC
Since Nick's patch fixed the build of XFree86, in the sense of at least allowing it to run to completion, we finally have a new nightly build! X is still broken at run-time, but it's possible to make it work (although I don't think it's necessarily worth the effort for anybody else; you have to download some loadable modules for XFree86 from somewhere else, install them under /etc, and change XFree86's module path, in addition to supplying an XF86Config). I suspect that we've fixed things up enough that tomorrow morning's build will have a copy of X which works, but for the need to get a proper XF86Config. (You could try this one.)
The addition of a working copy of X brought the size of our image up to about 70 MB, but I think I see clearly how we can prune over 30 MB of that away, and have a total image size near 40 MB.
Nick and I had an LNX-BBC meeting which wandered through two cafes and into my apartment. And in regard to the Internet access in the second cafe, I made what I thought was a good copyright joke.
