Many thanks , that will be a very useful resource.
I'd looked at your guide for building a system using Gentoo, which is
my main distro but I ran away in fright. It looked like a good weeks
work to get it all together and it really was not geared to making an
embedded installation (yet).
However a couple of tarballs could be very useful for getting around
the sort of breakages I'm finding in the what TS supply.

Could you maybe post a tinyurl or something a little more
conventional. That url seems to get screwed up either by yaboo groups
or my browser. I was not able to fix it manually either.
(also gentoo-wiki is about as fast as a slug on ketamine. It usually
takes about 3 minutes to return 404!)
Thanks again for you post, most helpful
Cheers.
