I'm looking for a way to install quick and simple workstations running kde. All will have (boot, root and swap partitions only). They can be updated to current, individually. later. http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Install_LiveDVD_11.2_to_hard_disk_drive So the best guide I have found is this one for the livedvd 11.2. Any modifications for the livedvd-amd64-multilib-20121221.iso version? Grub-2, udev, and some other changes may make following this 11.2 guide, problematic? I wanted to do these installs with ZFS and this is the best guide? http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ZFS I suspect there is way to dd an image right to a (pre-formatted) hard drive just like you would a flash drive? suggestions and comments are welcome.
