if I haven't forgotten something...
famous last words... I forgot a few things. but this version puts you much closer to having a working system in 90 minutes or less. All you need to do is:
boot off of life CD mkdir /mnt/flash mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash #(don't forget -t vfat if necessary) edit /mnt/flash/gentoo/config #(to meet your requirements) bash /mnt/flash/gentoo/phase1.sh #( to start everything off)
when it comes time, menuconfig will come up and let you configure the kernel.
current problems are getting modules to automatically load and automatically setting the password. I may just used to make the root password go away at login so you can get in without first putting single user mode but I'm not really comfortable with that for obvious reasons. on the module loading problem, I'm coming to the opinion that if you need a module at boot time, it should just be built into the kernel. YKMV.
I think this will be the last posting of this code, eventually I will put up Web accessible page or two on these pieces and I will post a notice at that point.

The result of the duopoly that currently defines "competition" is that prices and service suck. We're the world's leader in Internet technology - except that we're not.
