I have an old P2 233Mhz laptop that runs Gentoo. I build the system on a |
| 10 |
modern, very fast machine (specifying the right architecture) and then zipped |
| 11 |
up the partition up into a tarball. Then boot up the old machine with a Live |
| 12 |
CD and ftp over the tarball, unpack it, tweak /etc/fstab, install Grub and |
| 13 |
away you go! |
