I wouldn't. I would just modify your portage tree before making your |

snapshot. It'll end up being much easier. |

Otherwise, you wouldn't want to use portage_overlay, but instead use |
| 10 |
portage_confdir. In there, you would put a package.mask file with |
| 11 |
something like ">=net-www/apache-2" in it. |

You specify the location of a kernel config file. If you want it to |
| 18 |
boot on pretty much any x86, then I suggest using the same config file |
| 19 |
as we use on the LiveCD. |

You'll need loopback support in your local kernel, not just the build |
| 27 |
kernel. |
