Re: [gentoo-dev] Make the clustering LiveCD from a previous GSoC bootable from USB
The easiest way to get a removable device like a usb stick to boot is to use sys-boot/syslinux's isohybrid utility on your iso image that boots from isolinux. Old hat method involves manually creating the filesystem and copying data to it which you can find a guide at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/liveusb.xml or http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-811070.html to convert any of the install cds using isohybrid.

Re: [gentoo-dev] Gentoo Installer (text-based)
talk to igli on freenode as he's the author of a Gentoo based installer named Gen2, perhaps he will be interested in this project. You can checkout current sources at git@213.131.245.114:gent2.git.

Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: Re: Seeking questions for a user survey
I totally agree with not asking such personal questions which really are not going to help the foundation, what we need to ask are questions that relate to the distribution, it's developers & user community as a whole. one question regarding children that I see as being appropriate is: Do children in your household use Gentoo? > Yes > No > It's to complicated for them > Prefer not to answer Which games-* category need more additions? > games-puzzles > games-kids > games-board > games-fps > games-strategy Other questions regarding personal things, like age,spouses & income are really for another type of survey, maybe a separate survey that only developers will fill out, users will feel like you're asking to much if asked those questions. We need to get questions that can help identify what will improve Gentoo and it's inner structure.

I totally agree with you on that and when I asked that question I only wanted to see what people prefer and I don't expect users to demand a change based on the survey question responce. I for one love to have the livecd run on a WM vs a DE, but again I start the livecd with 'gentoo nox' most times. Maybe the livecd should run a WM and the liveDVD can run the rest this would free up the livecd and give it more room for other packages that are missing on the livecd, these packages could be stuff like wifi tools,system rescue tools, benchmark etc. > > > > > Do they use grp packages? > > > Yes > > > No > > > What is grp? > > > Sometimes > > > Never > > Definitely word this in a manner so people know what you're referring > to.

I agree using arrays would be much better, you can also loop through the
arrays like.
for ((i=0;i<${#FONT_CONF[*]};i++)); do echo "${FONT_CONF[i]}"; done
this way you can avoid spacing because you'll just be calling each array
element in order using quotes.
