If there are powers that won't allow you to install Gentoo I think it is |
| 10 |
better to discontinue your fun little project because installing portage |
| 11 |
and using it will turn your system into Gentoo. |

So it may be too late for you to stop. Then I would recommend you to |
| 21 |
read about bootstrapping [1], gentoo stage1 installation [2] and "Linux |
| 22 |
from scratch" [3]. |

Here are some links where you could start: |

But I have to warn you again: If there are reasons that you shouldn't |
| 32 |
install Gentoo you better not. Following the steps in [1] or [2] will |
| 33 |
lead you to finally assimilating the previous system and turning it into |
| 34 |
Gentoo. |
