And i read gentoo documentation about creating embedded linux. It gave me a very good guide line and i am very much thankful of whole gentoo embedded team for the same. I have a project in which i have to create embedded linux on 64MB. Gentoo embedded guideline gives me a very good start but it needs around 1.5 to 2 GB memory. Unfortunately i don't have that much space. Would you please guide me how to address this issue ??? I read about qemu-img command. If i use that command and create an image of 64M then will it occupy only 64MB space on real flash or it will extract itself to occupy more space?? I really appreciate your help in advance. -- "How can anything be impossible when impossible itself says I M Possible???" Mihir -- gentoo-embedded@gentoo.org mailing list
