As such, one should be able to just export them from OpenWRT and use them with Gentoo under the name wrt-sources. Am I wrong? However, what has stopped me from trying gentoo on my little box is that it seems gentoo-embedded is geared towards devices with storage in the 100s of megabytes which the WRT does not have. -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ daniel.armyr@home.se f00-dar@f.kth.se Tegnergatan 40 rum 505 +46 8 31 52 17 113 59 Stockholm +46 73 038 3097 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -- gentoo-embedded@gentoo.org mailing list
