Considering how long compilation would take on this, the best approach |
| 8 |
may be to install in a chroot on a more capable machine, then simply set |
| 9 |
up the partitions and copy everything over once it is all compiled and |
| 10 |
set up. Make sure you set your CFLAGS and CHOST to match the laptop. then |
| 11 |
you only need to run grub to set up the bootloader and you're away. |

Another advantage of this approach is that you can emerge updates in the |
| 14 |
chroot with --buildpkg and NFS mount the PKG DIR on your laptop, so it |
| 15 |
can install from binaries. |
