I must be missing his posting? So export / via NFS, mount it on the server and chroot into it? That might not work because of the stupid multilib requirement: The server is no-multilib, the client is not. Of course, I installed the client no-multilib and found that gnome cannot be installed on no-multilib, so I had to reinstall. Then I decided to use KDE because I don't want systemd, and installing gnome without it is a PITA. However, I don't see why gnome --- or anything else --- should require multilib. It's not like I'd want to run anything 32bit. Why are there no no-multilib profiles when you need a desktop profile? It has taken two days now to install Gentoo, and it's still not finished ...
