[pocket-linux] OT: GNU/Linux System Architect Toolkit

The GNU/Linux System Architect Toolkit has been revived and has a new 
home on SourceForge [http://architect.sourceforge.net/]

Architect is for anyone interested in building a bigger and better 
system than what is constructed in the Pocket Linux Guide.  What 
Architect does is to automate the building of binary packages from 
source code.  (See the home page to find out how it works.)  Currently 
Architect can build all of the packages used in the Pocket Linux Guide 
plus several more.  A notable improvement over the old Architect is that 
it is now possible to build gcc and other development packages.  It 
should be possible to create your own autonomous hard disk-based 
installation this way.

If you think you might be interested in this type of thing check out the 
project home page [http://architect.sourceforge.net/].  There will soon 
be an architect-discuss mailing list on SourceForge, but until then you 
can email questions and comments to me directly.  I plan to abandon the 
original Savannah project site, so if you are on that mailing list it 
will soon be going away.

Thanks to everyone who has helped out with this project.

Dave
