Turns out portage creates a few things it seems to need. /var/db/ |
| 12 |
type of files and a couple others. But nothing massive. I don't even |
| 13 |
bother emerging portage to the 'fake root'. |

If there is interest from more than a couple of people. I can clean |
| 16 |
up the code a bit and post 'submerge' to the list. |

I have done the latter here as well. Hacking boot CD's with your own |
| 25 |
apps isn't easy. It took me about a week of messing with 'livecd-ng' |
| 26 |
which doesn't appear to be maintained anymore. But I hear rumors |
| 27 |
that drobbins and some other people are working on a new system. |
