I hate to say this, but can't these LiveCD default settings be baked into the gentoo-source kernel image so we aren't always stumbling against the same problems over and over again?
if you look at the bootcd text message it tells you how to extract the kernel from there, its a good safe fallback for when you have troublesome hardware.. I know I had a NIC that didn't build properly (as in, it didnt take the driver I thought it should take) so i fell back to that and removed unnecessary things... To make that the default would be counterproductive in many cases.
and, the defaults depend on what kernel you use. theres a lot of sources in our tree, and we keep instructions for the "lowest common denominator" which would be the vanilla tree.

I figured everything out eventually.
I guess there should be a big red label, "Warning, you are about to do something that has the greatest chance of fuggering your new gentoo install more than just about everything else here. So, really, if there was ever a time to actually read all the Notes and Warnings, this is it. Even though you've been at this for 3 days and are getting a little impatient."
Gentoo is really interesting to work with. It forces me to think a lot more than the ones they call "Enterprise Ready". It's also a great indicator of how much you *really* know about Linux, and not some Certification Test.
