ok i'm new to both linux and gentoo. so plz don't flame me. yet, in order to get rid of gcc and portage why not compile or write a self-compile/extract thing-a-ma-jig (pre-build) the packages desired. does this defeat your goal? |

This is very interesting. Such a simple idea. Anyhow I have also been |
19 |
looking at ways to get rid of portage/gcc/dev tools out of Gentoo. But |
20 |
my goal has been to clean the system of dev tools and thus portage |
21 |
(since it would be useless without dev tools) so as to create server |
22 |
installations. (Although I also have had a side interest in getting a |
23 |
knoppix-like system built solely out of gentoo.) |
24 |
|
25 |
I wonder if it would be possible to somehow remotely "mount" the rest of |
26 |
the stuff such as gcc/python etc.. as with portage. So this way the |
27 |
system would be completely clean and when it needs to be updated a |
28 |
script would mount/link the tools from a remote system and after its |
29 |
done upgrading it would unlink and we are left with a lean clean system. |

31 |
Any thoughts on this? |

|
33 |
PD. I already have attempted at removing gcc and whatnot from Gentoo but |
34 |
have ended up with a nonbootable system. I would really appreciate if |
35 |
anyone who has had success in doing this would shed some light and give |
36 |
some tips. |
