Thanks, so does the installer do a kind of quickpkg on the live system 
followed by emerge --usepkg inside the chroot?

This is unfortunate because I have found the installer a little flaky.
I'd prefer to do an install manually then be able to do emerge --usepkg
against a directory full of packages.

Is there some way I can get the functionality you speak of? Is there
somewhere in CVS I can look at?

Cheers.
