Installfests and Gentoo

My local LUG (Linux User Group) is having an install-fest soon.. Most of the LUG members here are Debian advocates.. and I'm pretty much the only Gentoo guy among them..

What I was wondering is with practise, what is the shortest time it would take to do a Gentoo install ?? I'd love to crank out a few Gentoo boxes among the Debian boxes there.. but my last few installs have taken days to do..

Does anyone know of a howto or better yet a "Speedy Gentoo handbook install guide" for doing FAST GRP installs??

I've never had Genkernel working so preferably not using that..

You should take a look at distcc, the Knoppix distcc CD, maybe this: http://glis.sourceforge.net/ plus the help on emerge -b to make binary packages yourself
