Ok, I'm stuck again.

I'll probably have to run it myself, so I renew my request for a way to
set up an installation that's easier than starting a Gentoo install
from scratch. (Previously, Patrick suggested creating a tarball that I
could unpack onto a disk. Something like that would be fine. A MS
Virtual PC image would be even better.)
