Paul,

Thanks for your reply. My comments are inline below...

Hmm. Maybe it wasn't all the way through the 10 times. It scrolled off
the screen, so I'm not sure. I'll keep that in mind the next time
though.

Off-hand, becker-ethernet-tools was one. Can't think of the other one
though, but it was before becker-ethernet-tools. If I come across it
again, I'll pass it along.

I did once to see if it would produce the same error. It did.

It's already in that list, but thanks for pointing it out. I added
utils/f-prot to it.

I have issued "make build" from within gar/meta/lnx-bbc again. Same
results:

I am guessing this package controls the ethernet drivers for the various
NICs that lnx-bbc tries to support and that commenting it out from
bbc-contents would not be a good idea. Is that correct?

Thanks.
