No loss of USE - see the Gentoo Embedded Handbook, in particular this page:<br>

You can do, but the bottleneck will then be linking which will happen<br>
entirely on the phone. This can also be somewhat memory intensive, a problem<br>
on a memory-constrained device like this.</blockquote><div> </div></div>well, the linking phase seems to be a real problem.. surely you cannot build things such as firefox/apache/php/qt or other big packages.. (not speaking about openoffice) probably the best thing to do should be to crosscompile everything on desktop and then prepare some "syncing" scripts, to have two identical environments.. The sync should be in both directions, so portage could know about file conflicts, externally installed packages, configuration files and such things.. it can also be a good occasion to make a backup :)<br>
