Hi !

Does gentoo distribution for mips support non-mmu based mips processors ?


thanks

No idea... Gentoo/MIPS only runs (officially) on two subarchitectures of the MIPS family:
- Silicon Graphics Machines (Indy, Indigo 2, Indigo 2 Impact, Challenge S, Origin 200/2000, O2 and Octane)
- Cobalt Servers (Qube 2, RaQ, RaQ+, RaQ2 -- and OEM branded equivalents: Gateway Microserver & Seagate NasRaQ)

All of these machines run CPUs which have MMUs. You might have some luck using a µClibc-based userland ... but they're scarce for MIPS.
May I ask what sort of machine you're planning to install Gentoo onto?
