Well, I think his ideas (exton) are good, but for me they don't work.
His cruxex hangs loading modules and his exgent does install but the portage files are not in the right place and not all mostly used xf86-video-drivers are included.

So, the easiest way I can think of is Toorox, grab a quite recent portage tarball, like october 2014 from: http://mexmat.sgu.ru/soft/Linux/dist...entoo/portage/
*I suggest this because the binaries used from the binhosts are mostly from around this period or a bit older.
Extract this to /usr like so:
update portage:
select a 13 profile
Add PORTAGE_BINHOST="http://binhost.genfic.com/Packages" to your /etc/make.conf
some ideas:
http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/default-linux/ select your arch ofcourse
or
http://mirror.yandex.ru/calculate/CLDX/grp/
or
http://www.pentoo.ch/isos/Packages/
and then update your system
*-gK makes sure you use the binaries from the binhost
and have fun because this will not go without trial and error.

Be sure to add libevdev, recompile X, xfce or kde, a new kernel, ... before trying to reboot.
At least this is what I would try to get it up as fast as possible.

Hi,

I suggest you try Calculate linux which is based on Gentoo and is 100% compatible with it. It's a great distribution to get introduced to how Gentoo works, if you feel uncertain about installing Gentoo. This is the route I took. Calculate has graphical installer and is very stable and reliable system. I use it at work and at home. My personal long-term goal is to create my own distribution based on Gentoo and Calculate linux, particularly so that it would have a graphical easy-to-use installer.

Good luck!

gentoo still exists ???
