Good morning, Peter.

Actually, I don't know that it doesn't work.  Probably works fine 
once I clear up a few questions and get the nerve to try it.  :-)

All I really need (for now) is to find out if this means anything important...

Checking partition file: target/device/Atmel/atngw100/jffs2_partitions.txt
    * found root
      * which is root partition
    * found usr

... especially since it seems to report a successful build at the end.

Only other thing I need right now is to know from among the following files...

drwxrwxr-x 2 eric eric     4096 2008-10-23 03:42 .
drwxrwxr-x 3 eric eric     4096 2008-10-22 16:05 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 eric eric  1226398 2008-10-23 03:39 atngw100-linux-2.6.25.10-.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 eric eric        0 2008-10-23 03:40 rootfs.avr32.jffs2
-rw-r--r-- 1 eric eric  7798784 2008-10-23 03:42 rootfs.avr32.jffs2-root
-rw-r--r-- 1 eric eric  7451136 2008-10-23 03:42 rootfs.avr32.jffs2-usr
-rw-rw-r-- 1 eric eric 19230720 2008-10-23 03:42 rootfs.avr32.tar
-rw-rw-r-- 1 eric eric 10138625 2008-10-23 03:42 rootfs.avr32.tar.bz2
-rwxrwxr-x 1 eric eric   104708 2008-10-23 03:24 u-boot.bin


... whether rootfs.avr32.jffs2-root and rootfs.avr32.jffs2-usr are 
the image files I want.  I know I can just try them and see if they 
work but as I said I'm nervous about blowing away the u-boot with no 
way to restore it.
