Ok. I've just finished building a set of snapshots from the HEAD with this chroot environment. They are available from the usual place with a build tag of *-20021004-linux.i386.tar.bz2 . As said before these snapshots were made in a chroot environment, based on Gentoo Linux 1.2, with gcc-2.95.3, glib-2.2.5, and xfree-4.2.0. > >Your awesome! Thanks for your effort on these snapshots. It's nothing much, really. I've been using Gentoo Linux on my laptop for quite a while and I've always proceeded this way, i.e., by making a chroot environment where I install everything I need (from source which takes several days) and then move everything to the root and reboot. This way I can keep working during the process. The Gentoo Linux installation documentation pretty much describes all the process very nicely. The trickiest part that I still have to solve is doing this from crontab without opening a security hole on my machine - chroot requires root priveledges but I can't download, compile and _run_ code from the internet as root. My plan is to put it on root's cron job but call 'su' to become a regular user. This assuming, of course, that these snapshots are indeed the promised holly graal. Please test.
