So what about those of us who DO want that? Forcing us into an installer is more constricting and gives us less freedom--That's not the Gentoo way. "If the tool forces the user to do things a particular way, then the tool is working against, rather than for, the user. We have all experienced situations where tools seem to be imposing their respective wills on us. This is backwards, and contrary to the Gentoo philosophy." - Daniel Robbins > See, what *you* seem to be missing is that we're trying to provide a > better environment for our users.

There's a thing called self-reference criteria. It's anathema in marketing. If you think you know what is best for your users, you will all of your users and thus most of your employees. Your users know what is best for them, *not* you, as you are not a user (whether you have it installed on your desktop notwithstanding you are *not* a user). If your users still want a Universal LiveCD, then the onus is on Gentoo to provide one. -- Kari Hazzard -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
