 |
|
| I have Gentoo 2005.1 one on one system already. What I want to know is that afeter I get to stage 3 is if I could copy the /var/lib/portage/world file to the new machine and then emerge world to complete my installation without having to emerge each package manually? It seems to me that this might work, but I am not sure, I am trying to make the install less time consuming for me and let the computer do what needs to be done automaticaly. |

Don't know if your approach will work but why don't you just try it? If it doesn't you could do | Code: | | cat world | xargs emerge --pretend --verbose |
The problem with this is that you can't use --ask so you have to use --pretend over and over again until all useflags are to your liking and you've eleminated all packages from the list that are already in place and would get reemerged. |
