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. -- Nick Rout -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
