Thank you for your excellent howto.

I note that your procedure uses a kernel image and stage3 downloadable from your site. Is there anything special about these?  Does the usual gentoo kernel build process yield a working kernel for the beagleboard?

My concern is that I don't want to be anchored to somebody else's magic binaries.  I'd like to be able to build my own working kernels and stages.

Thanks,
Dan.

What is your overall experience with using Gentoo on the beagleboard?  Do packages install nicely, or are you constantly monkeying with broken packages, masks and the like?

I know that Gentoo doesn't officially support ARM, so I am concerned that using it on ARM could be a huge hassle, and I just wanted to know what your actual experiences are.

I'm a longtime Gentoo user on x86/amd64.

Thanks,
Dan.
