Hi, I'd like to transfer a GenToo installation from old hardware to a new machine (adm64).
I've a running Gentoo system which has exactly the same hardware as these new machines but this system has much fewer packages installed. Is it possible to clone this running Gentoo system, essentially overwrite /var/lib/portage/world with the larger version of the old hardware except some 64bit related packages and then run emerge --keep-going -j4 -1 --ask --update --newuse --deep @system @world on the new machine. Or are the any snags? Many thanks for sharing your experience, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
