Hey, |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
why not simply role your own? |
| 23 |
I'm running a KVM (qemu) System with all the optimization supported by my old like (eeepc) hardware. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
- create all the tbz2 you need (on the KVM or real host) |
| 26 |
- run genpkgindex |
| 27 |
- copy all the files to your webserver |
| 28 |
- create a squashfs from your portage tree (<40Mb) |
| 29 |
- boot your old system from cd or usb and extract a stage3 file |
| 30 |
- edit the make.conf and make sure to define PORTAGE_BINHOST |
| 31 |
- define an INSTALL_MASK if you like |
| 32 |
- delete all files in /usr/portage and mount the squashfs porttree |
| 33 |
- finally emerge all the stuff you need (emerge -G bla) |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
If you are interested in more details Ill write a howto in the next few weeks. |
