Hello, Tick,
Thanks very much for that information!
I am interested in trying to get OE on my system as per
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/MokoMakeFile and your interesting
write-up. However, I am on a data-transfer-capped ADSL connection and
am worried about exceeding the cap (it is quite expensive). The need
for 20Gb+ is scary :-) so could you please give me an idea of roughly
how much download is required to get OE and OM on the system (before
starting building it)? Perhaps the folder size before doing the build?
Thanks in advance
Ed.
