the "non-MMU" aspect makes no difference to the question. uClinux-dist provides a complete build system that easily generates rootfs/kernel images. Gentoo embedded can do the same, but requires a lot more manual interaction as there is no glue today to make the process nice (like kconfig). the upside is that Gentoo provides up-to-date packages for everything while uClinux-dist does not. -mike _______________________________________________ uClibc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/uclibc
