Thanks. I knew the PORTAGE_BINHOST and --config-root bits, but hadn't |
10 |
thought about the tree not being needed, save for the profiles. I |
11 |
recently setup a netbook based on a Gentoo image compiled elsewhere, and |
12 |
while it's now functional, I'm still tweaking stuff, including the portage |
13 |
arrangement. That I don't need the entire gentoo tree for emerging |
14 |
binpkgs is thus quite interesting new information at this point. =:^) |

Does that happen to be documented anywhere? I'd not seen it before. |
