The CoreCD release is targeted to advanced users who want to take full control of the features and packages installed on their system.

The CoreCD also has the capability to install packages using the Portage package management system.
For more information, please see the "Visual Tour: CoreCD" on Sabayon's Wiki.
Networking Notes: Advanced user skills may be necessary to implement networking on the CoreCD. The CoreCD can provide simple dhcp networking over wired networks by default. Most advanced networking configurations will require configuration by the user, possibly requiring "chroot-ing" into the CoreCD environment from another Linux environment with working networking.
