I think that is the potential for a stage4-style install. I think
previous list discussions have maintained that the flexibility of gentoo
is maintained by having a very basic install image, and a stage3 to
bootstrap into, and have the user compile their own kernel.

Otherwise, go install debian/ubuntu/choose-your-own-ready-boxed-linux
=2E.. gentoo isn't that kinda distro. Imho.
