Hm. I've never tried building a Gentoo system that...small. Looks doable, though. Uncomplicated USE flags are no sweat; a lot of the machinery of the script is there to cope with quirks of updates involving large sets of USE flags. Minimal networking should be no sweat; I'll just enable everything KVM supports in the kernel configuration. How *much* networking support do you want, though? Do you need anything more beyond basic layer 3 (IPv4/IPv6) autoconfiguration (DHCP, RAs and IPv4/IPV6 LL), or do you want netfilter?
