Hi Enrico, actually it is the way i would like to do it. I have a debian box installed on it, but i would like to move to gentoo. The machine is quite far from me and i don't have easy access to the room. Probably the chroot solution is the best for me.

I'm also planning to do this. As long as you do not have any backup remote access (ie. directly to the disk or filesystem, an backup os, ...) its gonna be risky. This would require the install to go 100% right (at least to the point where network + sshd is up). I'd suggest installing gentoo in an chroot jail and try out evrything, move ssh to another port and run all services (including gentoo's ssh) within the jail. If evrything's proved to be running, change into the jail, cleanup the root system (you can access it via bind-mounts) and copy down the whole thing. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service phone: +49 36207 519931 www: http://www.metux.de/ fax: +49 36207 519932 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cellphone: +49 174 7066481 --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- DSL ab 0 Euro. -- statische IP -- UUCP -- Hosting -- Webshops -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
