There's really nothing to build (unless you really want to) and the README's are quite complete. I had mine up and running rather quickly. One note: don't be scared off by a file that goes into a great deal of detail on how to set up your vga card in Xconfig -- it is apparently a hold over from early releases. The Xconfig that is distributed will *most-likely* have clock settings, etc. that will work for your board - (if it's one of the supported ones, of course ;) Dave S.
