[gentoo-user] eee pc query

[Matt Harrison]

I've got one of these Asus EEEPc's and I'm thinking about installing 
gentoo on it as the (xubuntu) distro isn't really up to par with gentoo 
IMHO.

I'm not worried about messing things up as I can just re-image it with 
the supplied discs if something goes wrong but I do have a couple of 
questions.

I've seen people writing about using USB sticks etc to install, I was 
just wondering, is there anything stopping me from just scp'ing across 
the stage3 and portage tarballs, extracting them somewhere and chrooting in.

Then I should be able to complete the install from the chroot (although 
using distcc to speed up compilation times).

Does anyone know why this might not be a good idea?

Thanks

Matt
