Sorry, I don't know much about CentOS. I would install something usable to
chroot, probably with debootstrap or something similar.

The best of course, is the working one :-) Try to read this[1]. I for example
use Debian/Ubuntu.
I don't know about detailed instructions for OE and ts7xxx, and I think it
isn't even necessary. Just read the general OE/Angstrom[2] docs[3],
tutorials[4] and you should be fine. With OE, I simply don't care if I build
something for Beagleboard, ts7xxx or GTA01.
What do you mean by changing filesystem? Flashing the JFFS2(or any other)
image onto NAND? If so, wouldn't it be better to build tar.gz image of rootfs
using OE and than mount it over NFS so you can test it and tweak it? Than if
it's ok, flash it?
