Nios II Linux v1.4 released

Did you just take the source to the microtronix stuff, pick a target directory to be root, and then start compiling uClibc et al into it?

Are all of the tools easy enough to use that building an image and sending it up the USB byteBlasterII was easy enough?

In short, if you could provide an outline of what it took you (I'm not looking for details -- I'm pretty comfortable reading man pages etc (and besides wouldn't ask you to do the work for me) and also prefer the command line). Something like a mildly detailed overview -- not guidelines to follow, but something that gives a rough idea of the work involved -- would be very kind of you and extremely helpful.

Many thanks,
