*Sigh* Sorry for the fat fingers before :-/ Let's try this again, eh?

Understood. I'm _very_ new to Gentoo. I've spent the past 6 years supporting
FreeBSD systems, and I'm being thrown into the deep end of the pool at this new
job ;-)

Gotcha. So in the installprofile.xml I can set:
<portage-snapshot>
file:///mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-20060123.tar.bz2
</portage-snapshot>
To be something more like:
<portage-snapshot>
nfs:///usr/portage/
</portage-snapshot>
Or along those lines (I'll do it through the gui and see how it changes the
file)? My eventual goal is to have a netboot system for setting up boxes, but
right now the need is great, the time is short and the resources are nil. :-\
And thank you all for your help--you've been great :-)
Best,
