 You could build one system and assuming your other machines are the same then 
 use Partimage to create an image of that system, burn it to DVDR/CDR, restore 
 the image(s) to your other machines. Or boot a livecd, mount an NFS share, 
 restore the image over the network.  

g4u might also be useful for this.

[gentoo-user] unattended installation

apologies if this isn't the best mailer to send this under, but I was
curious, is there an unattended installation project for Gentoo? It
would help with mass deployments... I was going to try and come up
with a bash script but I figured I would ask before I tried to
reinvent the wheel.




Thanks!

I've just used it myself, and it does actually work quite well. Quite fragile, 
so well worthy of it's alpha status, but it does work.
