Assume you have a linux box with an outdated linux. You would like to perform an upgrade, but you would like to avoid burning a CD or even making a bootable USB flash. The machine may even be somewhere where you do not even have physical access. You already have a running kernel and a working network connection. Why not use them to get your new linux running directly? Many distributions already provide a network install but getting the installer to run on your old linux proves tricky because you depend on local libraries and tools. Why not rely instead only on the linux kernel? You unpack a minimal set of tools to a separate directory, you chroot to it and start from a well defined configuration that can get you to your destination.

MKG automates the installation of the Gentoo GNU/Linux distribution. It follows the official AMD64 install handbook, with a limited number of configuration options. It creates a desktop platform compiled out of the latest available sources in the stable branch. MKG can install Gentoo on a device, and/or create an installation ISO file that holds on a single DVD. MKG also backs up any device into a recovery medium. The output is a direct install to disk and/or an installation medium (ISO file, DVD, or bootable USB stick). MKG target users who would like to experiment with Gentoo. It will also help out users who already know how to install and manage Gentoo, yet forgot to back up their OS for some time and need a fast recovery tool. It will also be appreciated by users who bumped into intractable dependency conflicts and are looking for a quick way out.
