yum later that may install updated packages that we don't want right now.
19.Under Desktop Environments, select Xfce, and deselect GNOME because the F16

4.3 Build Kernel on Host and Install on Target
Follow these steps only if you intend to cross-compile the target kernel by building it on
a host machine. Cross-compiling can result in significantly faster builds than
compilation on the Cedar Trail target itself. The build time is approximately 3 hours.
The steps assume that Fedora 16 is installed in the host along with packages required
for compilation. If your host does not have a Fedora 16 installed, then you can follow
steps similar to Section 4.2 to install it on the host, except that you can use either 32-
bit or 64-bit Fedora 14 Linux.
Use the following steps to build the kernel to be installed on the Cedar Trail target
board.
1. Go to the website:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/
2. Look for the following file and download it:
linux-3.1.tar.gz
3. Download the patch tarball (cdv-gfx-drivers-1.0.3_bee.tar.bz2) from the
following location:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=21938
4. Extract the contents of the patch in home directory:
tar xjvf cdv-gfx-drivers-1.0.3_bee.tar.bz2
