Yes, you should be able to use that. Python is SLOTted, so even if your |
| 9 |
other box is using a different SLOT, you can emerge the version you |
| 10 |
need, quickpkg it, copy it over to the first machine and unpack it |
| 11 |
there. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
quickpkg's are just tarballs so you can even use good old tar and |
| 14 |
bunzip2 if you managed to go to the next step of dohness and unmerge |
| 15 |
portage as well :-) |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
btw, how did you manage to unmerge python? That's in system and portage |
| 18 |
usually goes to great lengths to prevent you doing just that |
