That's confusing ... I would think that I can create the file system on the LV and extract the stage3 archive, then chroot into it. From there, I'd have to 'emerge gentoo-sources' and to compile a kernel. Isn't that easier or the same as booting on bare metal into some life system and doing these things from there? -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable.
