Re: [gentoo-user] sysrescuecd gone rogue

I found some hints for using non-Gentoo LiveCDs for installation over here
when I realized that my beloved SystemRescueCD switched over to Arch:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Installation_alternatives#Installation_from_non-Gentoo_LiveCDs

It seems though that these special advices (tar options when unpacking the
stage tarball) have also been added to the regular installation
instructions meanwhile, however in a slightly different form?
