I am planning to get a few machines going on a manual installation while I troubleshoot the livecd problem. These machines are behind a router and there will be multiple emerge --sync requests coming from the same IP. Is this a problem? I read somewhere that the same machine should not be doing more than one emerge --sync per day. If all your computers have the same configurantion (or, as you said, very similar), you could build ONE box, set it to be a BINHOST, use a network shared dir for distfiles, set distcc, set ccache (all while installing) and use it as a local RSYNC server, this would give you: 1) Super fast install at the other machines. 2) Less stress on your backbone. 4) Fast compiles at the host with all the machines as distcc servers. 3) No compile time at all BINHOST clients. Obrigado for the suggestion. This will be a project for a future gentoo cluster install expansion. -- Valmor -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?

Thanks, -- Valmor Hi, You could install once, make a stage-4 tarball, record/store it elsewhere and later use it for all the rest. Later any liveCD which could boot will do. Unpack the tarball install grub/lilo and reboot. PS: search gentoo-wiki for making stage-4 tarball IIRC. HTH.Rumen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
