Re: [gentoo-user] install gentoo via ssh

[Marco Calviani]

Hi Enrico,
  actually it is the way i would like to do it. I have a debian box
installed on it, but i would like to move to gentoo. The machine is
quite far from me and i don't have easy access to the room. Probably
the chroot solution is the best for me.

Regards,
and thanks to all,
Marco
