I brought this up about a month or so ago, since I used devtools to compile some linux binaries. I installed linux_dist-gentoo-stage3 (based on the advice I got on the list), did a chroot, installed some software using gentoo's portage system, and then compiled some code. It was fairly easy to use, when I compiled on the old linux_base using the linux_devtools I do remember having to mess with some of the paths. I haven't had time to test usage from the gentoo dirs, a a chroot is not real convenient as opposed to running from the /usr/compat/linux setup, but as stated I haven't had much time to test usage yet. Just thought I would share my experiences so far. STH > > Kris -- Scott T. Hildreth
