The machine resources are easy to get. build == my laptop, host == hp test drive machine (they support inbound telnet and ftp). All I have to do is write a board file! I'm going to move off the status quo in one direction or the other. Either build != host is supported, or it's not. If it is supported, then I have to test it (sigh), and at least characterize how many tests are broken. If it's not supported, then I want the doco to say so. Michael C
