Kicktoo is meant to automate the manual steps required to build a working Portage based distribution. The project is a fork from Quickstart and under active development.

Setup

You can use Kicktoo inside almost any Linux LiveCD, for instance a Gentoo minimal install CD, SysrescueCD or Ubuntu. Setup a pre-install environment by following these steps:

Download the LiveCD.
Boot the LiveCD.
Setup network connectivity.

Warning
You should NOT run it on anything else than a LiveCD.
