Shouldn't take that long..

Do you have internet connectivity?

Can you:
ping www.rcn-ee.net
wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/tools/latest/bootloader

if not, the script isn't supported..

Regards,

It should not tale very long. It sounds like wget hangs while trying
to download the bootloader.
I had the same problem not to say that the solution is the same.
My problem was that i was using an internet connection with proxy. The
wget command in the script did not use the proxy becourse og the sudo
command.
The solution was to tell wget allways to use the proxy.

Hey Lars,

Can you share what options you had to pass to wget to make it work,
that way I can integrate that into the git script source for others.

I've just never had to deal with proxy's directly..

I did not solve this by passing a command to wget but by editing the
setup file for wget in /etc/"wgetsomething" so i guess my solution
does not apply as a solution.

Hi Robert,

for inspiration take a peek at the OE setup scripts:

http://git.angstrom-distribution.org/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/setup-scripts/tree/oebb.sh

but it's quite simple anyway, just set correct env variables for wget:

  export http_proxy="http://proxyhost:proxy_port"
  export ftp_proxy="http://proxyhost:proxy_port"

and that's it.
