I know there are developers looking at some of the features you are |
| 2 |
looking for. I haven't seen it in portage yet, but then again I havn't |
| 3 |
been actively looking for it. |

As for now I believe you will have to set up different chroots for each |
| 18 |
arch in order to do it the absolutely correct way. This can be done quite |
| 19 |
easily, http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml will most |
| 20 |
likely give you most of the clues you need to set up a chroot with a valid |
| 21 |
"gentoo-install". |

rpms I do not know about, but packages that can be installed with portage |
| 38 |
should not be a problem. |
