Wanted to update on this, in case some other poor soul wants to go down this path. The PS above is what I ended up doing. That stage3 tarball never worked. It was like running in circles trying to emerge anything. Plus, copying over from my current install gives me a 100% clone of my install. So, I created a script, y'all would call it a joke, to copy over all the directories/files from my current install. That seems to work. I actually noticed I'm a version behind on kde-plasma and am upgrading it in the chroot as I type. Once that is done, I can copy over the binaries and do a emerge -k for the running install. This is my scripts, y'alls jokes. lol root@fireball / # cat /root/gentoo-mount mount --types proc /proc /backup/gentoo-build/proc/ mount --rbind /sys /backup/gentoo-build/sys/ mount --rbind /dev /backup/gentoo-build/dev/ root@fireball / # cat /root/gentoo-rsync-build rsync -av --progress --delete /bin/* /backup/gentoo-build/bin/ rsync -av --progress --delete /boot/* /backup/gentoo-build/boot/ rsync -av --progress --delete /etc/* /backup/gentoo-build/etc/ rsync -av --progress --delete /lib/* /backup/gentoo-build/lib/ rsync -av --progress --delete /lib64/* /backup/gentoo-build/lib64/ rsync -av --progress --delete /opt/* /backup/gentoo-build/opt/ rsync -av --progress --delete /run/* /backup/gentoo-build/run/ rsync -av --progress --delete /sbin/* /backup/gentoo-build/sbin/ rsync -av --progress --delete /usr/* /backup/gentoo-build/usr/ rsync -av --progress --delete /var/* /backup/gentoo-build/var/ echo "Sync done" root@fireball / # The first one mounts things, if they are not already mounted. The second one syncs up everything, except /dev, /sys etc etc. I'll know in a couple hours or so how well this works. I can't see why I would have any problems but . . . . . I'm me. ROFL :/ Dale :-) :-)
