Re: [gentoo-embedded] baselayout

[Jason Grimm]

Just got on the lists and irc a couple of weeks ago, but I to have noticed
that activity is light.  I'm developing on the Soekris 45xx platform with
mini-pci and pcmcia wireless cards and 128 Mb compact flash.  I've had luck
with monobsd and debian who both have concentrations in embedded
initiatives.  Gentoo is my distro of choice however and I'm anxious to get
something going with that.  I've been trying to build from scratch and
possibly adapt some of the disk on chip stuff that's mentioned in this post
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=83983&highlight=compact+flash but
am having little success, mostly due to being unfamiliar with ulibc or how
to squeeze down gentoo to fit and force all the heavy read write into
ramdisks or tempfs.  If I had a starting point, like a baselayout or build,
I could report back a lot of information to the group in tailoring for the
Soekris platform, but left to my own it will probably take me months.

Also, is there anyway to access this mailing lists archives, I didn't see a
link anywhere on the gentoo site to get to the archives.

Thanks,

Jason
