No, you can use the following command: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
# ROOT="/chroot" emerge <pkages you want to install> -pv |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
this will allow you build a new system, and it wount install the gcc |
| 11 |
packages. all you'll need is a stage 3 tarball for building, edit |
| 12 |
the /etc/make.conf to what ever setting you desire. Just keep in mind |
| 13 |
you will need to install all the programs needed for boot: base- |
| 14 |
system, grep, openssh, pam, core-utills, etc. |

yes, if you setup a build system, using a stage3 tarball, and |
| 20 |
build your system into a directory. Portage will only be under your / |
| 21 |
usr/portage and not into the system image you're building. the good |
| 22 |
thing about using a Stage3 tarball is you can build you system on any |
| 23 |
linux system, build your system image, tarball the image, deploy and |
| 24 |
install grub on x86, yaboot on Mac PPC, silo on Sparc64. |
