You're not really forced to build your own kernel. I've always used the LiveCD kernel during initial install. Just copy the kernel and the modules and you are ready to go. cp /mnt/livecd/boot/gentoo /mnt/gentoo/boot/kernel-livecd rsync -a /lib/modules/* /mnt/gentoo/lib/modules > > That said I use openoffice-bin and revdep-rebuild always complains. With the latest version of revdep-rebuild (you need to unmask the latest gentoolkit) you can add SEARCH_DIRS_MASK="/opt/OpenOffice.org" to make.conf and it won't complain anymore.
