Some of the gentoo versions for specific usage, have their own installer. Like PENTOO [2] , LILBLUE [3] and then many folks use 'calculate linux' when they require an installation medium [4]. It can be migrated to a gentoo install. There are several efforts to create other gentoo installations, but they are alpha at the moment. hth, James [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VJlJyY LTZScta9a81xgKOIBjYsG3_VfxxmUSxG23Uxg/edit?pli=1 [2] http://www.pentoo.ch/download/ [3] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Hardened_uClibcLilblue#Installation [4] http://www.calculate-linux.org/boards/15/topics/25561 http://www.calculate-linux.org/main/en/cld
