You could also change the flags in your make.conf to your k6-2 (on yer faster box), change the packages directory to like, /opt/k62-packages, and then emerge everything with -B.
This will create bz2's of all packages for your k6 in /package-dir/All Copy those files onto a CD or mount them NFS or via FTP. Start the install on yer K6-2 box and then copy the prebuild packages to there and use emerge -k and have at it. But the distcc thing looks easier > -----Original Message----- > From: Zachary P.
