If so, I'd add buildpkg to FEATURES in /etc/make.conf and make PKGDIR a directory accessible to both, possibly via NFS. Then, provided your USE and CFLAGS are the same (running the same make.conf on both would be easiest) to can synchronise the second box with the first by copying over /var/lib/portage/world and doing "emerge -uavDNk world". -- Neil Bothwick There is so much sand in Northern Africa that if it were spread out it would completely cover the Sahara Desert.
