I've got a lit= tle amateur project that I'm working on, and I'm running
into some difficulty.  The most immediate problem I'm having,= is that
I want to put gentoo on one of my systems, but they don't have = a
CDROM.  (These are old boxes.)  So, my question, s= imply enough, is
there a JumpStart or KixStart equivalent in gentoo?&nbs= p;  I.e. tftp boot,
that'll download the install image, etc.?

TIA
