- your developer kit. This file provides the mLinux build system and a set
- of sources sufficient for building the sample images provided by mLinux.
+Note that mLinux should *not* be built as root and you will need full write
+permissions to the build directory structure. It is recommended to build
+the software inside your $HOME dir as a normal user.
- Untar the contents to a folder of your choice, and install prerequisite packages.
- Then, configure the environment variables and you are good to go.
