7 Well, why don't you try and tell us about it? =)
8 seems simple enough to me though, get /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files/portage-2.*.tar.bz2
9 use /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/portage-2.*/CONTENTS to see where everything is installed
10 create
11 /var/tmp/portage
12 /var/db/pkg
13 maybe copy /usr/portage over from your gentoo box, create a link from /etc/make.profile to /usr/portage/profiles/default-*
14 run emerge sync
15 I suppose that would work ;P
16 Actually i'm not sure why anyone would want to do this anyway, since you'll have to "emerge" everything anyway(might just use a stage file), unless you just want it to install a few apps.
