How do I install Gentoo on multiple computers with no net?

I have about 50 computers with no net access. Is it possible to install Gentoo on a virtual machine (or a dummy computer that has net access) and create an image of the disk that I can just "extract" onto the new computers' hard drives?

If the systems are more or less identical, you can install on one, make a backup of the installed system and restore the backup on the other systems. There's a stage4 script that you can use for this purpose here

That should work. You would have to pick the common denominator for CHOST and CFLAGS.

Dang speedy nixnut :wink:

Excellent, that's just what I was looking for (stage4 is an appropriate name as well!).

Wish me luck!
