6 | Make sure you look at the gentoo arm handbook for |
7 | relevant ideas on this installation: |

16 | Just a suggestion as I have no experience with this particular |
17 | system. Also realize that cross-compiling for a target system is a |
18 | different installation than using binaries, pre-existing packages or a |
19 | pseudo-distro installation that some websites may offer. |

22 | IMHO, it is easier to use binaries and packages already created, |
23 | if not a specific installation CD/usb install and get the board |
24 | up and running. Building up an embedded system, via cross-compiling |
25 | is what you should do after you gain some experience with that |
26 | specific arm platform. Be careful not to mix ideas and web pages that |
27 | are not compatible on the different installation approaches. |
