What's the bug #? Have you been working on testing some of our open
bugs? We need testers just as much as developers and becoming a
developer is a whole lot easier if we know who you are from helping with
testing. Either way, email me out of this thread if you'd like some
help with the process.

I would assume that all we'd need is a kernel and initrd to make it
boot, the existing minimal cd should be adequate otherwise. Again,
Brent is the release engineering person, so he's the one you should be
asking.

A simple install procedure could be written so a user would approprietly copy the cd contents to the disk. (I was actually writting a GTK gui that did just that along with specific ps3 configurations). It's really annoying to compile everything from a stage3, are you dropping stage4 support for it?

I don't see the benefit of releasing a stage 4 build, since that would
essentially require us to make decisions as to what you should have on
your system. While it is convenient, I would suspect that most Gentoo
users would choose not to use it. Again, you're more than welcome to
prepare a repository of pre-built packages for PS3, but it's unlikely
that we'll do that in an official sense (speaking for myself here, if
others want to do it, more power to them!).
Hope that helps,
