The supplied image contains a fully-configured `~arm64` Gentoo system (*not* simply a [minimal install](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Media#Minimal_installation_CD) or [stage 3](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Media#What_are_stages_then.3F)), with a complete Portage tree already downloaded, so you can immediately perform `emerge` operations etc. Be aware that, as shipped, it uses **UK locale settings, keyboard mapping, timezone and WiFi regulatory domain**; however, these are easily changed if desired. See the Gentoo Handbook ([here](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Base#Timezone) and [here](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/System#Init_and_boot_configuration)) for details on the first three; to customize the WiFi regulatory domain, start the <kbd>Applications</kbd>&rarr;<kbd>Settings</kbd>&rarr;<kbd>RPi Config Tool</kbd> app, select the <kbd>WiFi</kbd> tab, choose your location from the drop-down, click <kbd>Save and Exit</kbd>, and reboot when prompted.

> Please note that for non-UK keyboards, you will also need to edit the file `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf` and replace `gb` in the line `Option "XkbLayout" "gb"` with the appropriate code from [this list](https://pastebin.com/v2vCPHjs). Leave the rest of the file as-is, save, then reboot for the change to take effect. You will need to be the `root` user, or use `sudo` to edit this file (e.g., type `sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf` in a terminal).
