[gentoo-catalyst] GSOC: Making the cluster LiveCD bootable from USB

[Tom Stellard]

For Google Summer of Code, I am interested in working on a project to
make the current Gentoo cluster LiveCD bootable from a USB device.  I
have been using catalyst to build the current version of the LiveCD,
so I can test it out, and I have a few questions:

It was mentioned on the gentoo-soc list that the next version of
catalyst would allow you to build stages 1-4 with only one call.  Is
this feature planned, and if so what is the current progress?

When catalyst is building a stage, is there a way to execute a script
after catalyst has entered the chroot environment to do something like
mount tmpfs on /var/tmp/portage?

Thanks.
