Subject: [gentoo-user] how to install from ISO without burning it
Date: Sun, 18 Sep 2011 14:01:14 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r53dd69x.fsf@newsguy.com> (raw)

I've been looking around for a way to install gentoo just by plopping
an ISO into a known partition,.

I'm not getting much from google on this search string: 
   install gentoo directly from iso.  Or I should say:

I've found a couple of how toos but they involve quite a lot of mumbo
jumbo like this one:

I can follow that alright but first wanted to make sure there
is not a well established mainstream way of doing it.
