I have an ancient Pentium 1 machine sitting around and thought it would be |
| 2 |
neat to mess around with using it as a Postfix server on my network |
| 3 |
(non-production use). Anyhow the situation is that with a Pentium 1 and 32MB |
| 4 |
of ram this thing takes three weeks to compile Gentoo and I recently had a |
| 5 |
power failure after week one of the compilation (very sad). To remedy this I |
| 6 |
setup a chrooted environment on my P4 desktop and installed a stage 1 into |
| 7 |
it then proceeded to do the entire system setup (sans formatting and |
| 8 |
partitioning) inside this nice chrooted environment. I used CFLAGS for |
| 9 |
Pentium and such. As far as anyone knows, would there be any issues if I |
| 10 |
just bzipped up the entire directory structure on my system and after |
| 11 |
formatting and partition ting dropped it on the soon to be server? I can't |
| 12 |
see any issue but then again I have never attempted something like this. Any |
| 13 |
insights would be appreciated. |
