> Why on Earth did you remove John's changes from May 6?

One of the reasons I had to create the advanced linux configuration in 
buildroot
was that I wanted to be able to store multiple kernel images in the same 
directory.
John's patch makes this impossible and also makes the image name 
incompatible
with the automatically generated scripts which downloads the kernel to the 
target.

$(BOARD_NAME) needs to be changed to $(PROJECT) though.

Best Regards
Ulf Samuelsson
