Kicktoo
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.
You should NOT run it on anything else than a LiveCD.
Installation
You can install Kicktoo using three methods.
Version package
You can download the package from the Kicktoo website.

cd ~

Ebuild
This repository is no longer available with this method.
Alternatively, you can use the one provided by the ltsp ebuild repository:
root #
layman -a ltsp
Then install the package:
root #
emerge --ask kicktoo
Configuration
Kicktoo can be configured with a installer profile. Several example profiles are already available in the profiles directory.
root #
ls -R /root/kicktoo/profiles
When you installed using the ebuild, the profiles are available in /usr/share/kicktoo/profiles.
Running Kicktoo
Call the kicktoo application with the profile you just edited.
root #
./kicktoo -p profiles/gentoo/gentoo.profile -v
root #
reboot
When you installed using the ebuild, the kicktoo app is available in /usr/bin/kicktoo.
