very cool. how is the mlpayer performance, and that sort of thing (obviously, there is a big advantage in the current libraries and "big distro" softwaree)?

Mlpayer performance similar to pdaxrom r121
Last official gentoo ebuilds are based on svn mplayer code, and it has patches from maemo projects, but i didn't test it yet
Generally this gentoo rootfs is usual gentoo, so you can try to emerge any ebuild from offial gentoo portage, except big projects like xorg-server(it has problems with zaurus touchscreen) and QT4(offical just doesn't work, Civil's ebuild has patches from debian arm port)
And known issue is that firefox/mozila give 'illegal instruction', i don't know how to work out that
I commented software in my first post, programs without comments are from official gentoo portage
If you have Z model without internal hadrdrive, you should to mount portage via NFS from desktop (you don't need gentoo on desktop, just exported portage), i bet you will get "no left space on device" with local portage on zaurus
and if you want to speedup compilation, use distcc and cross-compiler on desktop

Portage itself is ~400MB, but distfiles will take much...
Current version of overlay for portage (with some patches software, most patches are from OZ, but there is some Debian ARM patches there too):

Problem is that ext2/ext3 can't work on small partition with so many tiny files

can I make a proposal? once you have your gentooZ system fully built to de-personalise it, make a NAND backup and publish it so that people can very easily install it from scratch?

Any way to dual-boot? Use the pdaX kernel in Gentoo and boot with uBoot?

 System places on SD card, NAND has uboot+emerg system and kernel only

i tried to boot from gentoo to pdaxrom with kexec (from source with arm patch from uclibc, not official kexec)
it boots fine, but i guess it's not hard to make one kernel for pdaxrom on NAND and gentoo on SD - if mmc card exists it mounts sd, if doesn't  - kernel mounts mtd device

what are the working web browsers? Dillo, of course--and firefox is having trouble...  any luck with minimo? safari?
Also, how is hardware support-bluetooth? sound? usb, etc?
Can the kernel be compiled natively on gcc4.2.1?

Hi, Civil.
Fine!  i will emerge gcc 4.2.1  
now Gentoo works on my C3200 but i wonder if work on C860 too...
C860 has PXA255 , Xscale but no iWMMXt ,

it must work, but you may need to copy some configs from either pdaXrom or stage for pxa270 - for example keyboard files (becouse stage3-*.tar.bz2 - is stages for keyboard-less pda's - so no keymaps for zaurus by default)

I think the best place for portage tree is a squashfs file ... not on NAND...    

Any hope on I have Gentoo working on my SL-C3000 ?
