So I want to build and embedded gentoo system on an amd64: model name : AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor What this the embedded profile? (show me the syntax for this?). I only need busybox (looking at the other embedded profiles). If I choose to install iptables, as the only package, after busybox, the dependancy-tree will pull in what else I need. Then just mod the kernel and I have embedded gentoo on an amd64 system with iptables. This will work, right? Isn't this what you are implying, or is the profile system incomplete? James
