When would that be available?

Not possible :( dont have a running alpha system "big enough" top compile on

Sounds interesting.. And how would i du in more detail?
I am fairly new to Gentoo, and not much of a programmer.
I unpacked the "stage1-alpha-1.4-r1.tbz2"
That gave me a stage1 tree to chroot into.
But then what?
Do i just chroot /mnt/where-i-put-it /bin/bash ?
How do i build a new portage rescue? And how do i use it?
