I'm not much of a hacker, and I don't remember the context, but someone once mentioned using distcc (distributed-computing version of gcc) for this build-on-beefy-computer-for-older-one scenario; that way, you'd build the system relatively quickly, and update it just as quickly, if I'm not mistaken. (Seems like this is a common task ... is there a FAQ or HOWTO for this somewhere?) Jyrinx jyrinx_list@mindspring.com -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
