I'm now finding one problem that threatens to invalidate the whole idea. Today I returned after a few days away and ran an update, after mounting the Atom's file systems to /mnt/atom/target on the i5 and chrooting into /mnt/atom. 12 packages needed to be updated; four of those were installed to the chroot and the other eight to the target. They should all have gone to the target. Has anyone here tried working this way? I can't tell whether the problem is woolly thinking on my part or problems in portage. I did think portage had all the tools it needs to maintain another system mounted on a target directory under the file-system root. -- Rgds Peter
