This is really interesting. I've ended up with making a gentoo based mini distro (2.6 kernel/uclibc/busybox) that was originally ment as a RAM only x86 router. It seems like the step to run from disk is very small (use another initrd-image and replace some of the init scripts) xorg got compiled once out of the box. I think the current xorg has some problems with libtool but I haven't had time to investigate yet. If we could get xfce4 compile smoothely gentoo could be a very cool option for very old computers. Just compile everything on a bigger computer and skip portage. (is gentoo without portage and without compiling really gentoo?) Do you know how much RAM would be minum needed to make xfce4/uclibc be a pleasant experience? -- Natanael Copa -- [email protected] mailing list
