Not completely atleast I could have a good basis of what packages will be on
the released gentoo-install cd. That is a good point about supporting the
actually
spec files, I my self wouldnt need it but I did mention that I could over
look the scripts for now.

Personally, creating my own installer cd is not the problem. My issue is I'd
like to keep it conformed so that when the installer cd is released, I dont
have to drop all the work I did to essiensial create what already exists.
Basically I'm not a having a problem using Catalyst.
