Embedded Gentoo for PC Engines WRAP/ALIX

date: 11/10/2009
Some time has passed and the WRAP was changed with an ALIX board and the 32mb CompactFlash card grew up to 1GB.
Storage size isn't the matter anymore but memory size required a switch to aufs2.
This Guide will be updated to howto build a glibc based gentoo system for the ALIX system board.
You can find the old site for wrap boards here, additionally I want to mention that Voyage Linux is also a really nice project.

 
At the moment I'm testing and having fun with

• portage-2.1.6.13
• gcc-4.3.4
• glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2
• baselayout-2.0.1
• openrc-0.5.2-r2
• gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r8

I still maintain the point that designing a monolithic kernel in 1991 is a
fundamental error. Be thankful you are not my student. You would not get a
high grade for such a design :-)
