You don't *need* a separate partition. For example, I run catalyst |
| 10 |
out of a chroot on an Ubuntu machine at work (on a machine that's |
| 11 |
maintained by a non-Gentoo sysadmin). However, the main catalyst devs |
| 12 |
are probably running catalyst on native Gentoo systems, which means |
| 13 |
that there may be a few kinks to work out if you want to go a |
| 14 |
different route [1]. |

Since system-building is a fairly resource intensive task, I'd |
| 17 |
recommend not using a full-blown virtual system unless you have to. |
