Hi,

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

Someone put Gentoo on a guitar once.  Think I'm kidding right?

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:

Well, the first link mentioned AMD Geode and "x86 install handbook" :-)

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?
