Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'd like to transfer a GenToo installation from old hardware to a new |
| 4 |
machine (adm64). |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I've a running Gentoo system which has exactly the same hardware as |
| 7 |
these new machines but this system has much fewer packages installed. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Is it possible to clone this running Gentoo system, essentially |
| 10 |
overwrite |
| 11 |
/var/lib/portage/world |
| 12 |
with the larger version of the old hardware except some 64bit related |
| 13 |
packages and then run |
| 14 |
emerge --keep-going -j4 -1 --ask --update --newuse --deep @system @world |
| 15 |
on the new machine. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Or are the any snags? |
| 18 |

Many thanks for sharing your experience, |
| 20 |
Helmut. |
