Here is the first release of \"Gentoo For Zaurus\" (GPL, of course). It is a complete Gentoo environment for zaurus. I hope this will help making tons of packages for cacko X11 rom (and other roms) very easily.

Expect many bugs as this needs much work to be as stable, easy to use and fast as gentoo.
It is not needed to modify your actual configuration or rom on the zaurus. The complete environment is mounted over nfs. So please, try it. It will not harm your current setup. We need testing and ideas.
Features of 0.1.1:
* Gentoo environment: It can \"emerge sync\", \"emerge package\", \"emerge -B package\", etcat, ...
* Native compiler: Includes a native gcc environment for ARM based on the one from Cacko\'s site.
* Cross compiler with distcc: Includes the zgcc-3.3.1 cross compiler for the main PC with distcc configured so the main PC is who does the actual compiling.
* Complete linux system: You can install the applictions compiled over the environment before installing over the real system. Includes X11 so you can test graphical applications on this environment instead of the real system
* Native ipkg format: You can install ipkg packages on the gentoo environment.
