14 Thanks, so does the installer do a kind of quickpkg on the live system
15 followed by emerge --usepkg inside the chroot?
16
17 This is unfortunate because I have found the installer a little flaky.
18 I'd prefer to do an install manually then be able to do emerge --usepkg
19 against a directory full of packages.

21 Is there some way I can get the functionality you speak of? Is there
22 somewhere in CVS I can look at?
23
24 Cheers.
