So far after the discussion evolved, I hope to find more experienced catalyst users here ;) My favourite target would be to Gentoo-ify a couple of servers -- means to have a flexible build system. That in turn means to build different types of targets (database, xen-host, app-engine, web server, etc.; I already can do that with stage4) and to individually (1) fill that targets with (1.a) configuration, (1.b) some custom code and data and (2) build one or more (non-ISO9660) file system image(s) of it, which can be sent to a LV or a storage system for use (boot) afterwards. Where is the best place to do so, will I have to create a stage5 target (how? -- I suspect this is the way to go) or is there a good hook in stage4 I simply didn't see? Thanks in advance! Eckard
