Gentoo is an excellent distro for building a 5501 system. Crossdev has made cross compiling an almost trivial task. I am currently using a busybox/uclibc setup for 4501 and 5501 boxes. The only real problem I have encountered is that iproute2 sometimes can be a pain to compile against uclibc. Depending on your requirements BB's version of 'ip' might be sufficient. -- Thomas Albech niXtech Solutions _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
