Eh, just use the handbook. I don't know about the new graphical installer, but the old way [well, maybe not old, gentoo was at 2004.3 before I installed it.] was always to install into a chroot from the livecd environment. You won't have to pull as much data from the net though, since you should be able to bind mount /usr/portage... although be careful with your packages directory. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
