The installed xandros doesn't have chroot (or rsync) so you'd have to install those first. I downloaded an eeexbuntu ISO on my desktop and ran the script on it to create a bootable USB stick, although I actually used an SD card, then booted from that and installed Gentoo in the usual way. -- Neil Bothwick Don't take life too seriously, you won't get out alive.
