[gentoo-embedded] embedded binary profile

Hello,

Is there any profile that only deals with binary packages? I wanted to make
a small gentoo instalation without the compiling stuff.
Is there any automated script to do this?

I am working on a distro thats built with uclibc gentoo but runs using other package manager (apk-tools.sourceforge.net).

You boot from CD, unpack the packages to RAM and run from RAM (like LEAF, except this has 2.6 kernel and udev/hotplug etc)

I have provided an initramfs image that should allow you to install it on an IDE disk with ext2/3.

http://alpinelinux.org

It is not production ready yet, and lacks alot of documentation (working on it) but you could use my buildroot environment, which is a "real" gentoo system. unpack it and download my tbz2 packages.

Its using the gentoo hardened though, with SSP etc. (so its good for networking but probably not what you want for multimedia)

Use this as "stage3" (its basicly an "emerge -e system" + my make.conf):
http://tanael.org/alpine/v1.1/buildroot/alpine-buildroot-1.1.0_alpha2.tar.gz

Here you find the precompiled gentoo packages (you set PORTAGE_BINHOST and use emerge -G):
http://tanael.org/alpine/v1.1/buildroot/tbz2/All/

Here are the portage snapshot used + my local overlay:
