nope, no stage installs. I've experimented a bit, but baselayout is even a bit too heavy for my uses(in addition it requires gawk). how a small image works for me is: sys-kernel/linux-headers =glibc-2.2.5-r8 =busybox-0.60.5-r1 sys-apps/tinylogin then I unmerge linux-headers after glibc is built. I should note that I primarily do cross compiling, so recreating things like glibc everytime is a necessity for me. Those ebuilds are also hacked to do exactly what I need(ex: busybox actually creates all the busybox links, unlike the stock gentoo one) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
