I recall building a few systems in the early days of gentoo. The funny thing is that other than burning and booting Knoppix a couple of times I had no Linux knowledge or experience. However, the gentoo handbook held my hand step by step and all these years later I'm still here. So, if I could do it, I wouldn't really call it technically demanding. ;-) I guess the OP could use something like this, unless there's a better way documented somewhere else: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/faq.xml#stage12 -- Regards, Mick
