Then create a tarball from it. You could call this tarball a stage4 |
| 13 |
tarball, because it is a complete system (compared to a stage3 tarball). |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
To create the tarball, leave the chroot an run something like this: |
| 16 |
tar -cjvpf /stage4.tar.bz2 /path/to/your/chroot |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Boot your old machine with a gentoo live cd and create partitions |
| 19 |
(follow the gentoo handbook to chapter 4) and copy your tarball to it. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
After unpacking the tarball, your system is nearly finished. All you |
| 22 |
need to do is to install grub (or your personal choice of bootloader) |
| 23 |
and that's it. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
For this method you do not need a special install medium. But you have |
| 27 |
to find a way to copy the tarball to your system. Possible options are |
| 28 |
scp or on cd (in this case you need a second drive or boot your cd with |
| 29 |
the option to load the whole image to memory (I d'ont remember the name |
| 30 |
for it), but since you said you have an old machine, the memory will be |
| 31 |
small...). |
