But do you start from a stagex install on the destination root (which I |
| 20 |
doubt)? or do you manually create a minimal root system? or is it that |
| 21 |
you just emerge baselayout and what is needed into the root and let |
| 22 |
portage create the whole thing for you? (I am speaking of /etc /bin /usr |
| 23 |
/dev etc. here.) |

And yes, you have my vote for the script. |
