Haven’t posted updates in a while. These latest ebuilds strip even more unnecessary files from the install. Including the wrapper. 🙂

General instructions:

1. Unpack into a local overlay folder, typically /usr/local/portage
2. Add PORTDIR\_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" to your /etc/make.conf
3. Obtain the linux system zip file and place in /usr/portage/distfiles (32bit or 64bit as appropriate)
4. run “emerge ignition”
5. run “/etc/init.d/ignition start”
6. run “rc-update add ignition default”

I never did get around to making an RPM ☹
