I did find the gentoo alpha isos not 10 minutes after sending my email.
There's
a site alphalinux.org that is the main reference location for all the alpha
stuff, but it appears to be down. I can ping it, but nothing else. I'm going
to
try to wing a bootstrapped one off of gentoo, but it would be nice if I could
find howto's to do the chroot thinger. IMHO that would be the most elegant
solution. Surely there's a way to do it. perhaps change the root directory
configuration setting or something so that when sorcery installs stuff it goes
to /alpha/usr/bin or something. hopefully I'll have time to hack together an
Alpha iso so that we can have one at least. one that boots, then from the
alpha
b0x3n that exist out there, they can make new better ones.

That's the plan, at least, because the alpha box isn't mine. maybe it can be
until I get it working, but we'll see.
thanks for the help and stuff. I'll keep you posted if you're interested.
Perhaps a thread on the message boards would be useful? or continue thru
email?
