I think a catalyst-based approach would be cleaner, but feel free to |
15 |
make use of the AWS bootstrap scripts at: |

https://github.com/rich0/rich0-gentoo-bootstrap - branch rich0-changes. |

The original scripts are by Eric Dowd, and I've been tweaking them to |
19 |
make them a bit more flexible (he's merged back a number of these |
20 |
changes). I'll warn you that they're a bit prone to failure depending |
21 |
on the state of the tree, but for the most part these are only |
22 |
failures that any unfortunate soul trying to install Gentoo for the |
23 |
first time would run into. Old stage3s tend to be the biggest source |
24 |
of problems, and integrating this into catalyst would fix that. |
