Interesting, that's worthy of an entry in the wiki for anyone else looking to maintain a Gentoo system without Internet access. I would suggest that you update portage within the chroot. What you are doing is lying to portage about what is actually installed, that shouldn't be a problem most of the time given what you are using it for, but different versions of portage on the two systems may cause problems at some time in the future. -- Neil Bothwick Windows Error:01F Reserved for future mistakes.
