I am looking at building another frontend without a disk so I thought I'd experiment with my current frontend. I have managed to get it booting using PXE, I copied the hard disk contents to a directory on my server and followed the rest of the howto, but I have the following questions/problems: 1. I can still compile/emerge on the frontend but its very slow as its on NFS. Can I compile on the server by chrooting? Basicallly I want to know if I can compile on EMT64 targeting AMD64. The frontend was installed with stage 1 so I guess the compiler won't even run in a chroot'ed environment. 2. The Gensplash is compiled into the kernel. It appears at startup with the 'Initialising kernel' screen but the progress bar never appears. It just shows that screen until X is started. Any ideas what might be wrong here or where I should start to look? 3. My DHCP server issues static routes, but since I've made the frontend boot over PXE (static IP address) it never gets the routes. Any ideas? Cheers for any help, Dave. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGN+qIx43ifHzpDVURAvs8AJ0beY2IwdF6l5eeo1gonpcmXQIRVACfaCUH ifwMdsg9qC1pCWFovX2eE6o= =eEf9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
