Team, One of the attractions of the existing format is that tar xf /path/to/tarball -C /mnt/gentoo works to fix things like glibc being removed and other missing essential portage components. In effect, each binary package can be treated as a single package stage3 when a user needs a get out of jail free card. Does this proposal allow for installing the payload without the use of the Gentoo package manager from some random distro being used as a rescue media? -- Regards, Roy Bamford (Neddyseagoon) a member of elections gentoo-ops forum-mods
