Hello list,
I've been installing gentoo on 16, almost identical PC's. I wanted to do
a manual install once and clone the rest but I am having problems with
rebooting a gentoo box with the same livecd I used to install gentoo in
the first place (I've also tried with a fresh livecd). Booting with the
livecd would allow me to get an image of the hard drive to use for
cloning. I don't know an alternative way.
I am planning to get a few machines going on a manual installation while
I troubleshoot the livecd problem. These machines are behind a router
and there will be multiple emerge --sync requests coming from the same
IP. Is this a problem? I read somewhere that the same machine should not
be doing more than one emerge --sync per day.
Thanks,

Hi,
You could install once, make a stage-4 tarball, record/store it
elsewhere and later use it for all the rest.
Later any liveCD which could boot will do.
Unpack the tarball install grub/lilo and reboot.
PS: search gentoo-wiki for making stage-4 tarball IIRC.

Or, if you want to save some stress from the gentoo rsync servers,
follow this little wiki: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Local_Rsync_Mirror
