The "netboot" use flag seems to be the right thing ;) it seems that it |
| 10 |
enables other things beside "--enable-diskless" that look like network |
| 11 |
drivers/whatever.. (never tried it) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
BTW if you want to pass something to ./configure in an emerge, just use |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-diskless" emerge -av grub |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
But I don't know if it can be set pernamently for that package in some |
| 18 |
file in /etc/portage/.... |
