Hi Sam,
Btw, I reported one typo for you about MTD part on OLD linuxppc maillist. But you still haven't corrected it yet. I don't know why:)

"xd" should be replaced by "xxd". At least for RED HAT 7.3/9.0.
If you look closely you will see that the examples run on the target so the question is really "what is the tool named in the ELDK?" Ok, the answer is the same, i.e. xxd but as the included files (forming the literal parts of the documentation) are to be generated from automatic regression tests, there is no real point in "fixing" this right now. By the way, this was _never_ a typo. There was a tool named "xd" around doing just what is shown - the examples were captured from live sessions rather than being dreamed up.
