Put all the downloads for a minimal gentoo install into dial up
context. You need the minimal CD, the stage 3, the portage snapshot, a
bootloader and a kernel.
An extra 20Mb in that total size is trivial.
Having done a few remote installs for blind users dropping into
#gentoo, I understand the frustration that lack of accessibility
causes.
Please add accessibility to Gentoo install media and help our users to
help themselves.
Since my only real argument against it (size) has been effectively shot down, if
someone does all the testing/patching and provides a nice, neat little package
for releng (me, basically) to integrate, we'll do it. I just don't have the
time/inclination to do it myself.
