Re: [Ltib] USB keyboard with Xfbdev

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Alan,

That sounds like a good idea.  Currently I'm working on getting LF's
stuff working on a MACG4,  I've added a bunch of package too so I can
run and Xterm.  I also added twm, just to get a basic window manager,
but I think adding matchbox/poke or maybe jwm might be good to do.

Ultimately I'd like to get LTIB to act as a bootstrap builder for a real
distro like Gentoo (Embedded).

Regards, Stuart
