H J,

If you can't get the URL to work then just do a google search for 
'gentoo ts72xx', and you'll have 2 main results. The first one is an 
article I wrote to build an EABI kernel and userland using Gentoo, and 
the second contains the link I sent earlier. They're almost identical 
except for EABI specific things.

My best advice, if you want to do any package management and not just 
overwrite existing files by extracting tarballs, is qmerge from 
protage-utils. Qmerge also has respects the INSTALL_MASK environment 
variable which is handy for removing *.h *.a *.la /usr/share/doc 
/usr/share/man/usr/share/info, from an installation.

Keep in mind, using qmerge to overwrite qmerge will not work. It's also 
a good idea not to use it or busybox, the system C library, etc. 
Portage-utils are still a work in development from Ned Ludd and Mike 
Frysinger but they make gentoo at least somewhat suitable for embedded 
devices. I'm definitely going to be at least using if not contributing 
back to portage-utils for some of my projects.

Of course, if you just plan on overwriting existing files, then tar is 
your solution :)

Cheers,

Chris
