I know. But the tbz2 packages are not really designed for embedded and was not good enough, unfortunally. I actually did try (search gentoo-embedded and you'll see i even wrote some code for it). But there were other issues too. Lots of broken RDEPEND's in ebuilds (+ very complicated) made me to rather rescan the dependencies using NEEDED. I ended up with writing an own package manager that did exactly what i wanted. (it can install packages from ftp, http, rsync, ssh + local mounted media - and it "feels" alot like freebsd's pkg_add) Natanael Copa -- [email protected] mailing list
