I just boot with a gentoo CD, tar up my entire system, and untar it on |
| 2 |
the new system. If your new system boots with the gentoo CD as well, |
| 3 |
then you can pipe this over ssh. Something like the following... |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
cd /mnt/gentoo |
| 7 |
tar -cz ./ | ssh root@other-gentoo-system 'cd /mnt/gentoo; tar -xz' |
| 8 |

I personally actually just use an external HD, that I'm building |
| 10 |
gentoo on. My primary box has it's portage on the external HD, and |
| 11 |
I'm trying to install all the packages i need on it. So, if I need a |
| 12 |
new system, I just copy the entire gentoo system off the external HD, |
| 13 |
to a new system, and then change configs. |
