Hence, I've decided to replace the Gentoo install with a binary distro. I've got debootstrap installed under Gentoo, and am ready to go - but I'm a little confused as to what architecture I need to tell debootstrap to install for, since as I understand it, not all ARM binaries will run on all variants of ARM processor. Can anyone advise, please?
I've used debian in a chroot, following instructions here: http://www.saurik.com/id/10
Also, I've used arch, and there's some information here: http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1361
Good luck, and I would be interested to know what you settle on. Currently I use cyanogenmod and it annoys me that it doesn't give me the full suite of linux text tools. I've tried working out how to get optware running (http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/HomePage) but haven't managed it yet.
