Nevertheless, I've spend some time maybe a year ago to create a basic
system based on the source packages from RedHats ftp-site. I sent it to
Chris Rutter so he could put it on his server.
It wasn't complete and not tested to the limits, but it still works for
me.
It includes all the basic packages needed for a linux system to run, many
of the command line tools you need every day (including some programming
languages like pearl/python) and an XFree86 server with all the
functionality one knows from the x86 area.
I don't know what became of it, I got only one small complaint from
someone who tried it and that was all. If the server still exists, it
*should* still be there.
It was based on RedHat 6.0 and may be a little out of date by now, but
it's completely ELF with all the shared libraries and development
packages, I had to debug some of the stuff to get it running on ARM
architecture.
This is not a complete distribution but it's a starting point to get the
system up and going for some serious work.
AND
it's all armv3l since I compiled it for my RiscPC with ARM710!
Have a look at it and enjoy.
