Hello Everyone,

for a small embedded System i would like to install CentOS, but it is a
RISC System. So my Question is it possible to rebuild some SRPMs for
RISC?

Some risc systems are quite big: IBM's Power* and Sun's *sparc* are risc systems.

However, for embedded systems, I suspect you're talking about small systems, and RHEL/Fedora/CentOS are quite unsuitable. Don't think about any of them unless you have _at least_ 256 Mbytes of RAM and a few gigglebytes of disk.

Debian's not going to work, by itself, with a diskless system, though it probably has the cross-development tools you will need.

Google around for your architecture + Linux + development.

Speaking of Debian, would you believe its most popular architecture is, Not IA32/AMD-64, not Power, but ARM?

Does it have to be Linux? One of my mates has a Zaurus, and he's recently installed a BSD on that.
