Actually Arjun, the problem is that Karim's book doesn'= t not explicitly teach the building of the root filesystem. He also uses th ird party packages like like Busybox, TinyLogin, etc. which I am specifical= ly prohibited from using.
What I need is how do I manually seg= regate all the files built in the toolchain into the appropriate /bin /sbin= /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/lib et al. directories of my created root filesyst= em.
Can you shed some light on that?
Thanks, = Raseel.

&g= t;Hi
Karim Yaghmour's "Building Embedded Linux Sy= stems" should be
helpful
if you do not already have it. We w= ere able to build one for ARM
920T
based VCMA9 using his advices.

Let me get this right. You are trying to get a specific file/directory hierarchy and not develop a filesystem like ext3 , reiserfs etc ?
What I need is how do I manually seg= regate all the files built in the toolchain into the appropriate /bin /sbin= /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/lib et al. directories of my created root filesyst= em.
Assuming you are trying to get a particular filesystem hierarchy I don't see the great difficulty in building one ? All that matters is the parameters you might pass to the configure script a simple ./configure --help should give you the clue. To avoid the carpal tunnel sydrome, you could write a few scripts or hack the gentoo portage system to get what you want.
