First time user - basic question

[Jim Norton]

And basic question number two:

When I configured the tool-chain it requested to know what version of  
Linux. I responded with the version of the kernel that is running on  
my BeagleBoard-xM ( 2.6.32.xx ). But I'm curious.. why is this  
information needed?

Please forgive these basic questions - The other times I've used  
cross-compilers they came pre-configured and I didn't have to do much  
to use them.

Thanks again,
Jim
