Summary 0000268: Documentation error? - target/default or target/generic?
Description This page http://buildroot.uclibc.org/buildroot.html [^] says this:

"Customize the target filesystem skeleton, available under target/default/target_skeleton/". My system does not have target/default/target_skeleton/ but it does have target/generic/target_skeleton/ - is this a documentation error or should there be both target/default and target/generic directories? (I always get paranoid when reality differs from the documentation, because when something doesn't work i don't know where to look - in this case if I have problems is it beacuse I don't have a target/default directory, or is that just out of date documenation?)

Also - you talk about the files target/default/device_table.txt and target/default/skel.tar.gz - but I note that the devices and files in target/generic/device_table.txt don't match what is in my build_mips/root. So I guess that the root file system has NOT been built using this.

Also - you imply that you can make changes in target/default/target_skeleton/ (in actually in target/generic/target_skeleton/ ??) and these will be carried over into build_ARCH/root/ - How? By running the top-level make in the buildroot directory? A tiny bit more info would be helpful to newbies. Thanks.
