1 Ok, i set ROOT to the image dir. However emerge -p samba needs basicall the entire system package. This doesn't look like the best. Is ther a way to find what specific libs samba needs and copy those over. I can chroot and go through every needed lib until smbd starts, but i was wondering if ther's a more eficiant way.
