This is very interesting. Such a simple idea. Anyhow I have also been |
| 10 |
looking at ways to get rid of portage/gcc/dev tools out of Gentoo. But |
| 11 |
my goal has been to clean the system of dev tools and thus portage |
| 12 |
(since it would be useless without dev tools) so as to create server |
| 13 |
installations. (Although I also have had a side interest in getting a |
| 14 |
knoppix-like system built solely out of gentoo.) |

I wonder if it would be possible to somehow remotely "mount" the rest of |
| 17 |
the stuff such as gcc/python etc.. as with portage. So this way the |
| 18 |
system would be completely clean and when it needs to be updated a |
| 19 |
script would mount/link the tools from a remote system and after its |
| 20 |
done upgrading it would unlink and we are left with a lean clean system. |

Any thoughts on this? |

PD. I already have attempted at removing gcc and whatnot from Gentoo but |
| 25 |
have ended up with a nonbootable system. I would really appreciate if |
| 26 |
anyone who has had success in doing this would shed some light and give |
| 27 |
some tips. |
