Looks really bad to recommend another installation media (even if it is based on Gentoo) to people who want to install our distro. I'd rather Gentoo recommended the live DVDs we do from time to time than having these autobuilds around that seem to break far too often. -- Regards, Markos Chandras - Gentoo Linux Developer http://dev.gentoo.org/~hwoarang
