[ This wants to go to linuxppc-embedded from now on. ] I use PTXdist but with a crosstool generated toolchain at the moment. I then package up stuff that isn't in PTXdist - but you could experiment with embedded Debian et al. > Those are the solutions, choose whatever works best for you. There's a whole bunch of distributions out there too. However rolling your own is the best bet for a small filesystem if you're not buying commercial tools at this point. Otherwise, go pay Monta, DENX, or one of the other embedded developer supporting companies for a flashy solution. Jon.
