Greetings, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I just managed to install (network less Universal CD install) Gentoo |
| 4 |
on my Pentium 100 with 48MB of RAM (yeah, it was hard, but I got the |
| 5 |
fastest system this poor hardware ever had), its working fine with |
| 6 |
minimal on everything, but as I have limited network access (proxy), I |
| 7 |
can't update, neither the usual emerge --sync nor emerge-webrsync |
| 8 |
works, the RSYNC is blocked for sure, and I suppose webrsync is trying |
| 9 |
to download something (all downloads are filtered, except for some |
| 10 |
extensions, but tar.bz2 and tar.gz are filtered). |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I scheduled the download of the last portage tree (snapshot) and MySQL |
| 13 |
and Apache latest versions and its dependencies, but I'm pretty sure I |
| 14 |
won't be able to install them, because when calculating dependencies, |
| 15 |
emerge fails (too old for the latest versions, and they're masked). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
So, I ask: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
1) If I get the latest snapshot, will it be like an "emerge --sync"? |
| 20 |
2) If I download all packages and dependencies, will I be able to |
| 21 |
install the masked version after pretending the "sync" with the |
| 22 |
snapshot? |
| 23 |
3) Has anyone tried this? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If I manage to install it, I'll get like 4 new servers using |
| 26 |
replication with hardware that would be trash nowadays (that's good |
| 27 |
for business). |

Thanks for all answers, |
