The structure isn't any different from the tree. In fact most of what's required in the tree doesn't need to be in an overlay. If you have PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage", then the ebuild goes into /usr/local/portage/$CATEGORY/$NAME/$NAME-$PVR.ebuild. It's that simple. [SNIP] > It's not that Gentoo is so hard.

That's a serious risk. Not when loading the disk but when trying to use it to install Gentoo. -- Bo Andresen
