Hi,

Has anyone here ever tried to build a really small filesystem to embed
gentoo into some non x86 hardware? Pure curiosity.

It was about a year or so ago when I read it.  I couldn't recall the 
arch but it is nice.  I got a friend I wish could see that thing.

That's nothing, someone once put NetBSD on a toaster. And someone else
managed to install Linux on a dead badger, but I think that was a spoof.

LOL

 Wow! A gentoo embedded handbook! Didn't know it was there, seems great!

Just one thought, does anyone knows a good website to pdf converter or
anything that makes the web more readable?

solutions)

Yes, on lots of arch's all sorts of small file systems.

You should post to the list gentoo-embedded.
SH, ppc, arm, mips and many other arch's supported.
Find an archive and search therein, if you do not want
to post to the gentoo-embedded list.


Also take a look at the embedded handbook, if you have not
seen it before:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/
