Hello all,
I'm using buildroot-ng on an ubuntu 6.06 box and menuconfig RUNS fine so far. However, After the first run, I was unable to find the menu to configure BusyBox options. It seems to have disappeared! It was there on the first run. Also, I noticed that hasurl is not selected as a default package in buildroot-ng. Isn't that needed for the Web interface or was that only in the prebuilt OpenWrt firmware?

Busybox configuration is found under the busybox package (base system -> busybox)

There is no web interface for buildroot-ng yet; various changes in the system make it completely incompatible with the previous webif.

Like I said, it's not there. I do the following:
root@hostname:~/buildroot-ng/openwrt# make menuconfig

I then use the down-arrow to highlight 'Base system' and press <enter> key. At this point, I see the following options:

<*> base-files
<M> libpthread
<*> uclibc
<*> busybox

Arrrrgh!! Nooooooo!
Cannot compute: not in alpha-numeric order!! Does not stand out!

Allright, so I started typing this and kicked myself in the teeth.. I kind of expected items with submenus to indicate the presence of said submenu, such a with a '--->' as is done with the main menu. All of the items under base-system have part of the text cut-off on the right side. Menu-items seem to have too many periods in them.
On the right side, I see:
'OpenWrt syste'
'POSIX threa'
<nothing but dots>
'Core utilities for embed'
'Small SSH 2 clie'
'Utility for converting'
'IPv4 firewall administra'
'IPv6 firewall administra'
everything after those strings is not visible and is cut-off. Is there a way to set my screen res. in a VT? In knoppix, I use vga=<nnn> to set screen parameters on VTs. (Hmmm, where is my "Knoppix pocket reference" book by "O'Reilly"). I'll try appending that to my kernel parameters in my grub config file.
