Well, I want to be able to put together a Gentoo system but not to use Gentoo to do it, if that's remotely possible. I rather like, for cross-building a system, the Pengutronix ptxdist stuff. So, I can VERY easily use that to build all the normal Linux portions of a system, it's the Gentoo-specific parts (the stuff in /etc, and Portage, I *think* that;'s all) that I need to get built, and I don't even have a list of what the names of the pieces are, much less any idea where toget the sources from. To be honst, from the Gentoo side of things, I'm pretty much at sea on this. No idea how to even begin, although I know software well enough. Could you give me any ideas what the general path ahead of me is? At the moment, I'm lookiing at a very messy job of trying to figure out the portions of my Pentium system will just copy over, and that seems incredibly wrong to try. There has to be some central archive with Gentoo code somewhere, isn't there? -- gentoo-embedded@gentoo.org mailing list
