I burnt a CD from /usr/portage/packages, and I borked my gentoo installation. Its easier if I just reinstall. So how do I use the packages I compiled so I don't have to wait 2 days to get up and running again.

I have never done this, but isn't it just "emerge -k <package>"? (Where <package> resides in $PKGDIR.)

Already compiled ebuilds can be packaged using quickpkg (which is probably part of the gentoolkit ebuild). So no need for recompiling every ebuild

Does the bootstrap script support the use of binary packages to be used? I have begun yet, and I just wanted to know.
