[gentoo-catalyst] reference manual gone?

Greetings again, I've been searching for the catalyst reference manual the last couple of days but cannot seem to find it. It used to reside in http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/catalyst/2.x/reference.xml as currently stated by

[gentoo-catalyst] fooling uname

2008-02-13 Thread lurker
Greetings list, Currently catalyst (2.0.5, 2.0.6pre4) doesn't seem to change what uname outputs. uname -r, for example, prints the version of the kernel running catalyst, not the kernel that's in the stage. Of course, that's how it is, but isn't it possible to hack that somehow? It's a bit

[gentoo-catalyst] root console on boot
