Description Chris Bainbridge (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Two ideas:

1) Cache the kernel and other bits that are built as binary packages.
2) Use rsync --delete instead of rm and cp:

Running command "rm 
-rf /var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/livecd-stage2-pentium3-20040708"
Removing previously-existing livecd-stage2 chroot directory...
Running command "rm 
-rf /var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/livecd-stage2-pentium3-20040708"
Copying livecd-stage1 result to new livecd-stage2 work directory...
Running command "cp  -a /var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/livecd-stage1-pentium3-20040708/* /var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/livecd-stage2-pentium3-20040708"
