Thanks.

I looked at mkstage4, but that isn't what I'm wanting. I never liked
that script too much (its a good tool, mind you, just not what I'm
wanting to use), and I'm wanting to do this via rsync instead of the
script.
You should stop using rsync. Why? I've think like You couple days ago.
Rsync is good but, when i record DVD with backup files of OS and try to
restore by rsync then I started to waiting for files counting... and
waiting... and waiting. So I use "tar -cjvpf <arch> <dir> --exclude=/dev
--exclude=/proc --exclude=/root --exclude=/usr/portage/distfiles" and
backup work's perfect. You can use ISOMASTER to edit ISO of minimal
livecd of gentoo and add archive to that file, rebuild iso and write it
on DVD - it works fine. Now restoring to full functional Gentoo needs 3
minutes of data decompresion to disk (tar -xjvpf) faster is without
verbose mode. Next step is chroot <mount dir> /usr/sbin/lilo (after
mounting proc) and reboot ;). This is faster :D
