Hi, |
| 24 |
You could install once, make a stage-4 tarball, record/store it |
| 25 |
elsewhere and later use it for all the rest. |
| 26 |
Later any liveCD which could boot will do. |
| 27 |
Unpack the tarball install grub/lilo and reboot. |
| 28 |
PS: search gentoo-wiki for making stage-4 tarball IIRC. |
