Well, I would use a system that has a lot of disk space, and make a |
| 11 |
chroot build environment for those laptops. With FEATURES=buildpkg, |
| 12 |
you can then use a system you have full access to to build binary |
| 13 |
packages for the upgrade, and then when you have access, you can |
| 14 |
update quickly with --usepkgonly. |

The AMD 32-bit chroot guide [1] is useful here, even for non x86_64 systems: |
