If there is already a Linux distro installed on the system, you could
use the Alternative Installation HOWTO:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/altinstall.xml#doc_chap6

IIRC, someone also posted some time ago their method for remotely
installing Gentoo from an existing RH install.

[gentoo-user] {OT} LayeredTech.com not Gentoo friendly

2005-04-28 Thread Grant
I'm trying to sign up with LayeredTech.com but they are rabidly
refusing to go through the:

1. boot to LiveCD
2. start networking
3. set passwd
4. start sshd

process.  They insist I rent a KVM unit from them for $30 per 24
hours.  Is this abnormal or do most hosts act this way?  I was
definitely with a Gentoo-friendly host before.
