  to follow up on my earlier post, turns out that the linux distro in
question is for an embedded system, and is built using yocto project
-- ironic since i actually teach a course in yocto project. so it may
be that this won't be as hard as it seemed and i'm going to offer some
advice.

  however, it's still useful for me to know what sort of local
expertise is out there in case i get calls for stuff i don't have time
for and just want to pass on to someone else who can do it.

  sorry for the interruption.
