I've done it this way too. All you really need is a system running that can chroot and unpack the stage 3 and portage tarballs. Like Albert I happened to use RIPLinux - very small, supports just about everything. You don't need a Gentoo system to install Gentoo, all you need is something that can deal with the filesystem you want to use, tar and zip/bzip. Theoretically, even Windows could do it. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
