I have an ancient Pentium 1 machine sitting around and thought it would be neat to mess around with using it as a Postfix server on my network (non-production use). Anyhow the situation is that with a Pentium 1 and 32MB of ram this thing takes three weeks to compile Gentoo and I recently had a power failure after week one of the compilation (very sad). To remedy this I setup a chrooted environment on my P4 desktop and installed a stage 1 into it then proceeded to do the entire system setup (sans formatting and partitioning) inside this nice chrooted environment. I used CFLAGS for Pentium and such. As far as anyone knows, would there be any issues if I just bzipped up the entire directory structure on my system and after formatting and partition ting dropped it on the soon to be server? I can't see any issue but then again I have never attempted something like this. Any insights would be appreciated.
