If you're just looking for an installer, check out quickstart -- http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-installer/msg_01300.xml and http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20061218-newsletter.xml#doc_chap2 have some details, and you can get a copy at http://agaffney.org/quickstart/ . It was designed for automated rollouts. (When reading, GLI = Gentoo Linux Installer.) The SCIRE code is available at http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gimli/scire/ and there is a gentoo-scire mailing list, which would be a better place to ask questions about it. Thanks, Donnie P.S. -- In the future, do not post to two subscriber-only lists, because almost nobody can reply to both.
