1 Yes but I don't think the GTK installer does. Or, if it does, it doesn't use the updated snapshot for emerging the packages.

3 For my own install, I ended up doing mostly a manual install once the kernel was installed. I did a --sync and then started the install of xorg and gnome. It's now running an emerge -uDN to get everything up to snuff.

17 I just went through the install process for amd64 on my Acer 5050 laptop (turion) and ran into a few problems with the install, mostly with out of date packages (xterm-215 is no longer available). It took 4 attempts to get to the install portion where I could reboot and resume the build after the emerge failed.

19 Is there some way to have the installer run emerge --sync before it starts building the system?

22 Actually, before compiling you have to emerge --sync, after the chroot.
