You could try Gentoo. They have different phases of ready to go compiled chunks. You can compile everything like here or you could just download the ready to go ISO and install without compiling anything or compiling parts of the system. You might check out the Android OS. It is an embedded Linux OS on about a dozen cellular phones now. It works great on my Motorola Droid. You could even look at maemo.org it is another Linux OS for cellular phones, centered around Nokia. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
