Commercial Distribution - Monta Vista Linux

The recipes listed here were generated from direct experience with MVL 2.1. Most of the information presented here should be applicable to later versions as well.

In my experience as a Monta Vista Software Field Application Engineer (Oct.2000 to May.2002), most of the problems encountered while using the product fall into the following broad categories:

Broad Categories	Description
Target Configuration Tool	Even though this tool has some serious shortcomings, it can be used very effectively to deploy a MontaVistaLinux target filesystem.
Kernel Configuration	Explore how to configure your kernel for optimal use in the development lab and final deployment.
Host Issues	The MontaVistaLinux documentation is first-rate, but sometimes it falls short, especially if you use a host that isn't officially supported.
Target Issues	Should it work, but it doesn't, also known as the Murphy Syndrome.
