That's not true. As with the previous problem I mentioned (about bf-utf
libraries) even though I have USE_LANGUAGE_CHOOSER=false it still generates
iconv.so, dumper.pyc helpers.pyc, all the .xml files, lans.o and langs.c
If you could fix it so this didn't happen that would save some time where
LC-bootfloppies are not required.
Anyway. thanx to all for your help. I've finally got some RiscPC bootfloppies
built (only takes about 6 hours :-/ ). Now I just have to make them work
properly. I can see from the scripts that a fair amount of work is needed to
get proper ARM sub-arch support. I'll work on this and send in some patches
as soon as the present panic is over.
