Throught the years I've build-up a good collection of gentoo packages that I'm currently running on my notebook. Now that I need to move to a new notebook, I build another gentoo system where everything were smooth and I did a emerge world/systems to get everything update. Now the question is - how do get gentoo to emerge the exact same number of package like my old notebook? I've attempted to move /var/lib/portage/world(which contain all the packages that I need) to the new notebook and start a emerge world. I got an error and ask me to "emaint -c" that I follow diligently which didn't quite help. I follow up with a "emaint -f" and somehow it just get rid of all the packages that I need :(
Apologies for the cluessless question, is there an easier way to duplicate the exact package on my old system to the new one? Thanks in advance. -- SB http://www.employees.org/~sbng/pgp.txt Key fingerprint = 5945 5E12 25A9 2404 8900 E171 052C 33B6 E210 AB93
