Hm. I've never tried building a Gentoo system that...small. Looks
doable, though.

Uncomplicated USE flags are no sweat; a lot of the machinery of the
script is there to cope with quirks of updates involving large sets of
USE flags.

Minimal networking should be no sweat; I'll just enable everything KVM
supports in the kernel configuration. How *much* networking support do
you want, though? Do you need anything more beyond basic layer 3
(IPv4/IPv6) autoconfiguration (DHCP, RAs and IPv4/IPV6 LL), or do you
want netfilter?
