Okay, here's where I've isolated the problem to. This might be a
rather lengthy explanation, so make sure you have about 15 minutes on
your hands before diving in. However, the explanation shouldn't take
long - I've never actually compiled/installed/used a kernel before.
Okay, enough

I know that it correctly compiles the kernel. I put a new name for
the new kernel (test1) to try and ID it

Sticks it into /boot. /boot now reads

Okay. So there are two ways of making kernels, and one of them is
with Genkernel and I'm not using that so I don't need to worry, right?
Just like most things in Linux, there are several ways to do it. Yours
isn't the way I do it but if it works for ya, go for it.

For what kind of beautifying do you need the Live CD? If you are referring to
the splash theme that it uses then it is in portage.

Are you sure you compiled it as embbeded, and not module? (* or M in

Well, not confusing; I understand most of it, however, I'm just not
prepared to start carving it up - I don't want to know how bad I can
screw things up. I think that if I go to ~/.xinit.d it'll be the
thing I'm looking for, but I'm not sure.
