Well, that's how it's supposed to work, anyway. Curious method. The "trouble" is I would need to mount a FC system in other box only for this purpose. > I hope that makes sense.

Yes Ranbir, I've read it before: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/sabayon-list/2006-January/msg00005.html > BTW, I doing this for one of my clients that is running a Linux thin > client environment (Thinstation + CentOS 4.4). Works great, no > problems. Ok, good for you. I've done all you specify in refered post and if I execute sabayon binary I get a python error. ¿?¿? ¿Is there another way/tool to create/manage GNOME profiles?
