-Simply running 'make' will build your firmware and a tarball
-of kernel modules. It will download all sources, build the 
-cross-compile toolchain, the kernel and all choosen applications.
+You need to have installed gcc, binutils, patch, bzip2, flex, bison,

-There are some cleanup targets we would like to explain.
-"make clean" will only clean the firmware images and the root
-filesystem. "make dirclean" will remove the extracted kernel source
-and all exctracted software. (busybox,bridge-utils,..), but will
-preserve your toolchain. (compiler,linker,..)
-"make distclean" will remove everything, including the toolchain, 
-all downloaded source code archives and your firmware configuration. 
-You can cleanup separate directories by using "make application-dirclean" 
-and rebuild the firmware with "make".
+Building your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux system.

 
 

-Be happy..
+Sunshine!
