1 I have used my install CD for that. It has had pretty much everything I need. Could you be a bit more specific on what you would like to see on a rescue CD that is not on the install one?

5 Supplying a working portage on the CD might be more interesting. Unfortunately, I am pretty sure you would have to run an emerge sync before you emerge due to how portage works, and that takes quite a bit of time and RAM space.

7 Now tell me why I am wrong.
