I also don't quite understand, why anyone would need such a beast. To install Gentoo, I'd boot my favorite "rescue system" (GRMl nowadays, Knoppix back then, but IMO Knoppix is too "fat" for *this* *task*) and install from there. No need for an install CD. As far as I'm concerned, the Gentoo install CD could easily be dropped without a loss. Michael -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
