I ended up having these runtime dependencies: GNU tar (runtime) Iputils (runtime) GNU coreutils (runtime) Bash (runtime) Util-linux (runtime) GNU grep (runtime) Ncurses (runtime) And it is written in Python with support for 3.4 onwards. I think all those are already present in a cd-stage1 or stage3 :) I'll polish some rough edges before packaging it, then I'll let you know when I have a functional package in my overlay so that it can be reviewed too.

Once it's a little further from the above (esp having a package), releng can potentially include it in the release media (*cd-stage1). Hopefully you have a very minimal set of dependencies for it, because the installcd is quite slim (by gentoo media standards). -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation Treasurer E-Mail : robb...@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85 GnuPG FP : 7D0B3CEB E9B85B1F 825BCECF EE05E6F6 A48F6136

That's a good idea Andrey :) Once I consider it stable and pretty enough to release the official 0.1 version I'll attach a blog entry showing how to use it on my gentoo blog ;) Thanks, -- Christopher Díaz Riveros Gentoo Linux Developer GPG Fingerprint: E517 5ECB 8152 98E4 FEBC 2BAA 4DBB D10F 0FDD 2547 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Hi, First, my appreciation for your work! I am not going to check it out myself, but I'd enjoy watching a screencast, or at last a series of screenshots, of how it looks and works. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
