Let me rephrase that.  That's what I did originally, but after messing up my 
system a few times (and having to restart said times), I now do this: 
 
(I had these on my website[0], but then my ISP shut down ports 80 and 443.  
:() 
 
1. Install from some other distory (Gentoo 1.4rc4 SPARC in this case) 
2. Get networking working (with portmap) 
3. # mkdir -p /opt/smgl/var/spool/sorcery 
4. # mount <server>/var/spool/sorcery /opt/smgl/var/spool/sorcery 
5. # for i in `ls /|grep -v dev|grep -v proc|grep -v var|grep -v opt`; do cp 
-vuaRp /$i /opt/smgl; done 
6. # mkdir /opt/smgl/proc 
7. # mount -o bind /proc /opt/smgl/proc 
8. # chroot /opt/smgl bin/bash 
9. Install lockexec 
10. Install Sorcery 
11. # cast -r -c init.d 
12. # cast -r -c basesystem 
13. # cast --fix 
14. # cast -r -c silo linux 
 
That's as well as I could remember the steps when I wrote them down.  ;)
