Since usage of livecd/motd isn't valid for gentoo-release-* I have instead made it pretty simple. If you're using livecd/motd and gentoo-release-* you will get a warning, and your custom motd will be ignored. I really wish people would *not* use gentoo-release-* when building anything that tries to be different from a Gentoo release. ;] > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Andrew Gaffney <agaffney@gentoo.org> > To: gentoo-catalyst@lists.gentoo.org > Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 11:30:38 AM > Subject: Re: [gentoo-catalyst] custom motd gets blanked >=20 > Tod Herman wrote: > > When building livecd with custom motd, the custom motd gets moved into = the build environment correctly, but then get's blanked when the livecdfs-u= pdate.sh tries to cat missing generic-motd.txt and minimal-motd.txt files i= nto /etc/motd.
