Thanks a lot, that's more or less what I thought to do. |

I hoped for some integrated solution that attached some kind of nice |

installer, but no problem. |

Yes, this is quite boring, since I wouldn't like to rely on |
| 30 |
network/double drive. Wouldn't it be possible to use a multisession |
| 31 |
cd/dvd with the gentoo cd in the first session and the tarball in the |
| 32 |
second (or editing the gentoo cd ISO)? |
