Isn't it a requirement that all nodes run Gentoo, with the same GCC version, and you must setup sys-devel/crossdev on each of them? I don't see how it could possibly work otherwise. In my first email I wrote that all other nodes have Debian installed, not Gentoo.

Try `emerge -pvT $foo`. With whatever package $foo you are trying to install. That is already solved (I had selected it somehow) by simply deselecting it. But is now a little OT. I now try to compile x11-libs/libxcb, and dev-python/elementtree is not installed on my system. Regards,

I think I made a (tollerateable) mistake: My hard drive has two partitions: - sda1 - encrypted swap - sda2 - encrypted root How should it boot? One way could be by external media (e.g. stick), other is from hard drive. But that is encrypted. So I must leave a small area left for kernel,

1. Maybe it would be a good idea to use an ASCII-only random string, for example by piping it through `base64 -w 0`. That way you don't loose any entropy (the key just gets longer) but it is easier to type the keyfile manually, in case you ever need to. You also don't have to worry about odd
