Howdy folks. Today I have a fun exercise but am short on ideas. Any |
2 |
suggestions? |

I have an old hard drive from my router, a Pentium III. Now i've gone |
5 |
and put that hard drive in an Athlon-based machine, which doesn't |
6 |
support the P-III instruction set completely. |

The computer boots and the kernel runs just fine, but many of the |
9 |
programs do not work. The biggest thorn in my side is emerge not |
10 |
working; therefore, I can't fix the problem with a simle empty-tree |
11 |
emerge. |
12 |
|
13 |
I am considering doing a full reinstall. But, I don't want to be |
14 |
bothered. |

16 |
What do you all think of the idea of extracting a stage3 onto an |
17 |
existing installation? Is there any way this could yield a set of |
18 |
utilities (namely python or emerge, whichever isn't working now) enough |
19 |
so that I could successfully issue an 'emerge -e world' ? |

Thanks for your time and suggestions, |
