[Hackrf-dev] Any Pentoo install lessons learned?

I wanted to follow-up that working with Zero on the #pentoo freenode
channel I was able to get through a successful install. It did require
updates to the pentoo installer, and a late night (or two) of testing with
Zero

Steps for a successful install:
boot live cd (amd64 hardened, RC3 in my case)
emerge -1 pentoo-installer  (this updates the pentoo installer to latest in
the SVN repo
run pentoo-installer  (either from command line, or after startx)

Anyone considering doing a install of pentoo from RC3 is HIGHLY suggested
to take the prior step. (emerge -1 pentoo-installer)

Thanks again Zero!

Best,
Jay
