Hello,

Ok the latest release of livedvd is here:

https://www.gentoo.org/news/20140826-livedvd.xml

from the forum link from the news article http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-995118.html
"One of the great things about this new livedvd besides that it contains over 1200 packages is that it now supports full / persistency meaning that you can boot this livedvd, make tweaks as you like and reboot while retaining those changes. It's more like a Gentoo to Go if you ask me. "
and
"Another great feature which will be ported to all minimal install cds is support for UEFI. This image even boots on MAC OSX hardware! Yes you heard it right! "

nice pie, well done to the gentoo devs


So my understanding is you can put this on a usb stick. Run
gentoo live, download packages, set flags, install packages
and save them to the USB stick?  So it's a portable  gentoo
workstation on a usb stick?

Are these the best instructions to follow to createa usb bootable
live gentoo image?  It has to be able to install new packages and 
save those to the usb stick.

I remember some time back (Neil) mentioned a package I was
not aware of (and naturally cannot remmber the name of) that
made creating USB bootable, usable, images on a usb stick
straightforward?

It even handled grub2, uefi and such?

suggestions?
