Hey,

> or config an embedded gentoo system?
I've installed it succesfully on an embedded gentoo system. I think there were
some bumps on the road, but over all it worked pretty well (together with
pulseaudio). It's been a while since I've toyed with it, so I don't remember
details.

I can't access my embedded or development system right now, so I can't see if
I made any overlays for compilation. I did find the following commands in my
notes:

# Add some groups needed for dbus and avahi
# Not sure why emerge doesn't do this...
egrep "^(messagebus|avahi|netdev|pulse)" /etc/group >> /targetfull/etc/group
egrep "^(messagebus|avahi|pulse|mpd)" /etc/passwd >> /targetfull/etc/passwd

(Exececuted from the dev system where /targetfull is the embedded systems)

Also, I attached my portage overlay in a previous email [1], you might find
something useful in there (If there is nothing in there, I probably got it to
compile without any trouble).

I'll look in my system as soon as I'm around it again, but do let us know how
your progress is!

Gr.

Matthijs
