The Ångström Distribution

After a few weeks of hacking and testing I am proud to announce the online image builder:

http://narcissus.angstrom-distribution.org/

You can select a machine and packages you want and the image builder will create a tar.bz2 image using the packages available in the feeds. That means you can create an up-to-date image at anytime from anywhere!

The autobuilder tries to keeps the feeds populated for all machines evenly, but some packages aren't in all feeds, e.g. kismet is missing from the armv7a feeds since it breaks with gcc 4.3.x. When that happens the image builder will display a big red X on the screen next to the package that failed to install. It will continue to install the other packages you selected so you can still use generated image, but without the missing packages.

If you have suggestions, feedback or bugreports, send a mail to the angstrom-devel mailinglist.
