The installed xandros doesn't have chroot (or rsync) so you'd have to |

install those first. I downloaded an eeexbuntu ISO on my desktop and ran |

the script on it to create a bootable USB stick, although I actually used |

an SD card, then booted from that and installed Gentoo in the usual way. |
