But do you start from a stagex install on the destination root (which I doubt)? or do you manually create a minimal root system? or is it that you just emerge baselayout and what is needed into the root and let portage create the whole thing for you? (I am speaking of /etc /bin /usr /dev etc. here.) And yes, you have my vote for the script. -- Vano D <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
