Hi: First, let me thank this excellent list, because there is always someone here who seems to be inadvertently talking about my problems. :)
Anyway my query goes like this: What do I have to do to take a backup/snapshot of Portage on my current Gentoo box? Because if I was to install Gentoo 1.4 on a new box sometime in the future, I'd love to get Portage to the same state as I have it now without having to go through the rigmarole of emerge syncing and fetching the packages again. Do I just have to create a copy of the contents of /usr/portage, or are there other directories as well? Thank you for your time. -- Hareesh Nagarajan Bangalore, India Try ionicChat today, an Instant Messenger with a difference! http://puggy.symonds.net/~hareesh/ionic-chat/ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
