There's no Internet access where the standalone is, it's remote, when I |
35 |
go with the laptop the laptop doesn't have Internet access either. |
36 |
|
37 |
I didn't really want to tar or burn stuff to disk. I think I'd like to |
38 |
just be able --sync the laptop for itself and then have the ability to |
39 |
do another sync for the standalone. Of coarse the second sync for the |
40 |
standalone wouldn't install anything. Then when I travel to the |
41 |
standalone I'd like to do any "emerge -uDNp world" to the laptop which |
42 |
would most likely be the setting in the make.conf on the standalone. Thanks |
