*Sigh* Sorry for the fat fingers before :-/ Let's try this again, eh? |

Understood. I'm _very_ new to Gentoo. I've spent the past 6 years supporting FreeBSD systems, and I'm being thrown into the deep end of the pool at this new job ;-) |

Gotcha. So in the installprofile.xml I can set: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
<portage-snapshot> |
| 16 |
file:///mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-20060123.tar.bz2 |
| 17 |
</portage-snapshot> |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
To be something more like: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
<portage-snapshot> |
| 22 |
nfs:///usr/portage/ |
| 23 |
</portage-snapshot> |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Or along those lines (I'll do it through the gui and see how it changes the file)? My eventual goal is to have a netboot system for setting up boxes, but right now the need is great, the time is short and the resources are nil. :-\ |

And thank you all for your help--you've been great :-) |
