18 If anyone is interested, there's an Embedded Gentoo HOWTO I wrote as a
19 documentation for my project here:
20 http://www.eti.pg.gda.pl/katedry/ksa/pracownicy/Stanislaw.Raczynski/embeddedgentoo.html.
21 It's mainly for people who want to put an embedded gentoo on KB9201
22 ARM-based development board, but I guess there might be something
23 interesting for you x86 fans too.
24
25 Be careful though, for since there is so little information on embedded
26 gentoo, I had to figure some things by myself and they can be very
27 incorrect (any feedback on that would be much appreciated).

29 Sorry for this a bit out-of-topic post.
