This means we now have an environment to which we can chroot and build everithing else within. (I tested all sys-packages with success, so the rest should work too). I used exactly the same dir-layout as in the corresponding sys-* packages, so nothink statically linked remains after the corresponding packages are merged over. It is bigger(130MB, 28MB bzipped) than the 50MB I expectend it to be, maybe it can be reduced to around 100MB. :-/. What can we do now? 1. This build sytsem can be placed on a bootable cd together with the sources and the ebuild-tree. We can then unpack the build.tbz2 instead of the sys.tbz2 to our target partition, chroot there and build everything. 2. We can use this as a starting point for ports to other platforms. It should be possible to build the sys-build stuff if we have ports of spython and portage and gcc-2.95.2 on the base-system. 3. There is no more need for the other sys-categories now so these packages can be moved to the other categories now. So we are one step closer to a minimum runtime system now. Feedback please Achim**
