Re: [gentoo-embedded] ADSL router + firewall + PoPToP....

[Marcelo Coelho]

Hi!


I've been testing a few scripts i've wrote to be able to automatically
update the software for this router, but, i've realised that at the
end i have a full compilation system, and what i want is a minimal
system, only with the servers i want and a small set of applications
that i need on this pc.

So, can i use my desktop pc to compile the software i want and this
way populate an empty set of the basic directories of the linux
system? What tools can i use to do that?


Thanks for the help!
