The only reason to do this is if you have a specific configuration that
you want to use to configure multiple computers. We do this by creating
a master disk with everything just the way we want it. We then tar up
the whole disk and burn it to a CD with a self-boot kernel. Stick the
CD in the machine to be configured. Boot-up and run a script that
sets-up the partitions (we wipe the disk and recreate the file systems)
and then un tar the disk image. Very quick to configure a new machine
and the new machine is automaticly set-up as a new master (all the
scripts were tared with everything else). Obviously the total size of
the disk image has to be kept within a CD size.

Hi list,
I have some fairly specific kernel requirements during installation.
Does anyone know how I can use a custom kernel to install the Gentoo system?
Any advise on this subject would greatly be appreciated.
