Subject: [gentoo-embedded] Embedded Howto comments

I just wanted to comment that when you follow the 0.8 (or Gentoo-ized
howto), it directs you to use an older profile.
When you try and emerge, portage warns that the profile is deprecated. If
you use the new profile:
uclibc/x86/2005.1/2.4
Building the system works very well and everything went smoothly. When
using this profile, I had no trouble with the following:
1) No workarounds for bootstrapping or emerging the system
2) The kernel compiles without trouble (no intl.h issue)
this issue is typical for all kernel > 2.6.12, so it's normal you don't get
problems with a 2.4 kernel
This profile seems to have the 2.6.x kernels masked though, so I'm using
2.4.30, which is what you get when you emerge vanilla-sources.
Anyway, that's been working very smoothly for me.
I'm having to do a PXE/DHCP/TFTP/NFS boot to bootstrap my embedded device.
If I wrote up a bit on how to go about doing this, would someone integrate
this into the Gentoo Embedded Howto?
