You could make all kinds of settings that are normally in /etc/make.conf from the environment. Then you write a script that sets the variables and then calls emerge. You could frob PGKDIR, for instance, then tell the 486 system to fetch them from there. I think you will have to change many variables, but if you are lucky, most of them will default based on just one of them. Then you tweak that and off you go. I'd start reading the source now... -- Ambibibentists unite! -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
