Have you seen this article from the Gentoo-Wiki? http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Distcc_server_on_Windows Its a pretty long, involved process, though. Ultimately, I think the idea of building the install in a chroot on another machine is the best path. I used that method to install Gentoo onto an old PII laptop, and it worked great. Just make sure to keep the install chroot around so that you can emerge updates easily. Matt -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
