Considering how long compilation would take on this, the best approach
may be to install in a chroot on a more capable machine, then simply set
up the partitions and copy everything over once it is all compiled and
set up. Make sure you set your CFLAGS and CHOST to match the laptop. then
you only need to run grub to set up the bootloader and you're away.
Another advantage of this approach is that you can emerge updates in the
chroot with --buildpkg and NFS mount the PKG DIR on your laptop, so it
can install from binaries.
