Thanks Thomas. Would it work to: # ROOT=/tmp/root emerge baselayout uclibc busybox then copy /tmp/root to / on another disk, set up /boot on that disk, and boot? If not, would TinyCore fall into your category of embedded Linux build systems? - Grant _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
