I added a target called 'system' over 6 months ago in the catalyst-3 branch in git (now the master branch) that does exactly this. There are a few things missing compared to a "real" stage3, but it's just stuff like .ph files and other random things that can't be generated when $ROOT != "/". I had considered backporting it to catalyst-2, but I'd rather not touch the catalyst-2 code any more than necessary at this point. If anyone wants to play with it, you can get catalyst-3 by using the dev-util/catalyst-9999 ebuild in the tree. However, I cannot guarantee that it's in a working state at any given time. -- Andrew Gaffney http://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/ Gentoo Linux Developer Catalyst/Genkernel + Release Engineering Lead
