I'm doing it in the same manner.

I've already included this things.The specs are based on my
install/rescue livecd there is also lot of repair stuff because :) I'll
put them on git hub .. so people are able to review/ contribute. Such a
livecd could be a nice starting point for slightly experienced users.
One could copy the filesystem and care about the disk-setup and further
configuration in gentoo style. So you would have a instant pro-audio
gentoo system which can be adapted and maintained by the user as usual.
The dynamic build server would make it rellay cool. So you would have
your usual set of tools.
Has anyone an idea where to gather the computational resources?
