I remember there was a script floating around that could be used to |
| 12 |
generate a list of packages that the home system would need. The |
| 13 |
script on the fast network side would process the list to download |
| 14 |
the files, you would then burn a cd with the files and take back to |
| 15 |
the home system for updates. This would get you around Nick's comment |
| 16 |
about needing same USE flags and installed packages. |

Unfortunately Allen I don't remember exactly what the script was or |
| 19 |
where I got it, but I think there's a reference to it in the Gentoo |
| 20 |
Wiki. |
