I generally roll my own in a chrooted environment on my faster servers (3= x Dell 2650s with distcc ) and then tar up the results. If you're doing your own installs, you're not bound by what Daniel puts in the various stages - mine typically have everything but the kernal compile, grub, fstab, /etc/hosts, and /etc/hostname. As much as I love watching things compile, I'll never go back to compiling KDE on a standalone syste :) OTOH, If you're building a rescue cd, you don't actually need any stages at all. I regularly use the latest ISO to mount ntfs volumes and fix issues with them. I've never tried to mount a UFS volume, so I don't kno= w if this would work on a *BSD machine, but then those rarely need rescuing anyway. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
