Cool!  This morning, I was thinking about something like this as well.  Sort 
of "cloning" a gentoo install.  Once up, the user could (maybe) use the 
normal package management to maintain their system.  There's precedence for 
doing that, too (viz. the 386 kernel on the Slinky CD).

I was wondering, though:  would this run RULE dangerously close to being a new 
distro?  (Open for discussion.)
