[plug] New toy just arrived

[W.Kenworthy]

hmm, why wait so long ...

1. instantly unpack laptop and pwr supp (leave the rest for later)
2. insert gentoo 2006.0 disk and boot
3. go make tea
4. configure liveCD system for your network
5. copy suitable existing gentoo system to new machine: something like:
tar -c -p -f - --exclude './usr/portage/distfiles/*' --exclude
'./var/tmp/*' --exclude 'proc/*' .|ssh newpc 'cd /mnt/gentoo && tar
xvpfi -'
6. drink tea while copying
7. configure, reboot
8. enjoy
9 ...
