If you're installing to a new disk, do a standard Gentoo install to that
disk, but do it from your working setup instead of the live CD
environment. Your existing installation has all the tools you need to

It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it
is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It
isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs.
