My father's cousin did exactly that, in New Zealand, using a biological parasite that only
affects possums. It was tested and ready to go, when Australia pulled rank and requested
that it be shelved - because someone would bring it to Australia. Hell, I would :)
It was ingenious, merely reducing population levels without causing suffering or wiping
them out anywhere… but I forget many of the detailed facts.

He's the same guy responsible for eliminating hydatids from New Zealand. When they
successfully eradicate them from China as well, he has a Nobel prize coming…

I have set the environment up and can get things to build using:

http://www.gumstix.org/software-development/open-embedded/61-using-the-open-embedded-build-system.html

and

http://www.gumstix.org/software-development/open-embedded/160-bitbake-tutorial.html

And these tutorials are good at explaining the mechanics of how to set this
up but can somebody add a couple of pointers to explain what is happening
when you type bitbake xxxxx to cause things to appear in
\tmp\deploy\glibc\images\overo\

Bitbake is doing a lot of things and I am looking for a little guidance on
how to educate myself on the gulf between understanding "hello world" and
understanding bitbake omap3-console-image 

Thanks
Jon.
