Hi,
As a Gentoo developer myself, I have some preliminary documentation for installing Gentoo on an SD card, written with armin76's support. It's located at
http://dev.gentoo.org/~armin76/arm/efik ... nstall.xml Please let me know if it leaves anything out
I think I was using the instructions here instead
http://dev.gentoo.org/~darkside/arm/efi ... nstall.xml
which didnt work so well with the smartbook. it seems it wasn't loading the usb driver so the kb didnt work.
I did get his overlay working by modifying the root fs and putting in the same kernel as the one that ships currently with the smartbook and forcing the usb driver to load at boot time.
I will try your instructions instead and let you know how it goes.
I'm not exactly a gentoo developer I just wanted to see if I could get it installed to see how well it ran. are there any images that have full X installed on them? I know gentoo is a source based distro but building everything is likely to take a very long time. I'm particularly interested in seeing how well the efika runs with everything compiled for arm with hardware floating point enabled.
