* docs/manual: add details on toolchain configurationThomas Petazzoni2012-12-291-0/+277
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds a new section Working with Buildroot -> Details in configuration -> Cross-compilation toolchain that gives a lot of details about our three toolchain backends. It takes some elements that were previously later in the manual in "Embedded basics" and in "External toolchain" and combines them with more details about internal backend and Crosstool-NG backend. The "Embedded basics" section becomes empty and is therefore removed. A few elements have been lost in the process, but they were considered to not be really useful, especially located so far in the manual.

* docs/manual: add a new 'Details on Buildroot configuration' sectionThomas Petazzoni2012-12-291-0/+151
As discussed with Samuel Martin, there are a few questions about some Buildroot configuration aspects that come very often on the IRC channel and on the mailing-list. Topics such as the /dev management and init systems are often raised. Therefore, this patch adds a new section that provides details about the Buildroot configuration possibilities. It does not aim at replacing the help text of each configuration option, but rather to complement them by providing more background. Having those informations in the manual will also make it easier for us to point newcomers to the right place in the documentation when they have questions. Note that this section will replace the "Embedded basics" section that comes way too late in the manual. This is done in a followup commit.
