I was planning on wiping the box and reinstalling from scratch. I would |
| 23 |
just like to make sure that after a fresh install I can rebuild |
| 24 |
*everything* with my particular preferences. I was thinking of doing a |
| 25 |
chicken-egg bootstrap (like so): |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
edit make.conf |
| 28 |
rebuild/reinstall gcc |
| 29 |
rebuild/reinstall glibc and binutils |
| 30 |
rebuild/reinstall everything else |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The only problems I see with this setup are how to get glibc and |
| 33 |
binutils installed. I figure I can just create packages and drop them |
| 34 |
on top of what's currently there (the contents will be the same, so I |
| 35 |
don't see a conflict). But I'm wondering if there are cleaner/nicer |
| 36 |
ways to acheive my goals. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
But it seems like it'll be cleaner to just chroot and make a new |
| 39 |
build.tbz2 and drop that on top of everything else. Am I mistaken in |
| 40 |
this assessment? |
