I think there's a very obvious "flaw" in this. The reason being that the sources are actually very big. More towards 200-300MB depending on the build options. I would prefer instead to just tar and tar up the few directories and do it like that. That's actually how I'm transferring the sources to another box. -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
