Not hard! I forget exactly what I did, but it was pretty easy
to do.

(I don't remember all the steps, but I can tell you after I get
home if you still need to know).

You can "install" gentoo from anything that can boot the livecd (I
think). I've written some instructions on how to get the livecd onto a
usb key - it's surprisingly simple. I used it to install this laptop

see
http://nthrbldyblg.blogspot.com/2008/06/gentoo-linux-live-usb-key.html

I would appreciate any suggestions and improvements to the steps, if you
end up trying it.

Hi,
Following this documentation:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM
and having kvm kernel modle loaded.
When launching the virtual machine, will it automagically use KVM?
Optionnaly, how to know?

I ask, because when using manual launching (without those libvirt
related stuff), I use explicitely "kvm" or "qemu" according to wat I
want to do.

My hardware: AMD Phenom (virtualization capable).
