http://gentoo-wiki.com/TinyGentoo provides a somewhat extensive introduction to this as well as a long list of links to related web pages. Note, that you have to include libstdc++.so yourself if you're not emerging gcc into your /install. If you're not cross-compiling you might want to have a look at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/gnap.xml Regards, Andi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
