I'm sure this one's been asked a million times too...
Machine A, runs Gentoo/KDE and a handful of other apps I've collected
over the year.
I would like Machine B to have the same exact packages.
How would I use Machine A's /var/lib/portage/world file to make my 'clone'?
Thanks all.
Hypothetically (I haven't tried it.)
1) scp a:/etc/make.conf b:/etc/make.conf
2) modify the CFLAGS in b:/etc/make.conf to suit, but leave the USE
unchanged.
3) do a basic install on b, you'll want to make sure it can boot into
a kernel before you do the next step.
4) scp a:/var/lib/portage/world b:/tmp/welcome_to_my_world.lst
5) emerge `cat /tmp/welcome_to_my_world.lst`
Have a nice day.
