Why not officially recommend SystemRescueCD instead?
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.
Except for the fact that downloading a DVD is slightly different from
downloading a CD...
Seriously. SystemRescueCD is more or less exactly what we would need. Has
anyone ever approached the SystemRescueCD developers?
I must confess, I have not used the official Gentoo ISOs in ages. I use the
SystemRescueCD from a USB stick all the time.
Me too. Our minimal CD is too minimal for my tastes (no X, no GUI
browser for documentation), and our DVD too heavy. SystemRescueCD
seems to hit the sweet spot.
Maybe we could do a co-branded edition once in a while?
likewise, either sysrescuecd (OR ubuntu's livecd for networkmanager to
get ppp0 up and running)
i don't mind configuring ppp0 after installation, but during
installation it is an major obstacle
imho we should contact the sysrescuecd developers and suggest more close
cooperation, such that it could be called official install
media in gentoo-terms
