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? https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/LiveUSB/HOWTO 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? James
