I have it too, but the automatic configuration isn't slowing that > much. What happens exactly? exactly? i posted everything that i can see in the console. But i can tell you that this by hand tool is using /sbin/generate-modprobe.conf to generate it by hand and this tool is starting a lot of sub threads and each subthread is growing by its own. Then after ~1min of calculating stuff my memory is gone and i have to reboot, becouse neither my mouse nor my keyboard is doing stuff > This may cause problems in future builds, the behaviour of these types may > change and be unexpected since it seems to be for internal use only, > judging Why? Its used for the minimal installation cd of gentoo. (I got it from their .spec - file). This is exactly what i want a minimal linux system with nothing then a bootup that detects all my hardware loads all modules and as a plus it should have a xinit to start a x based application (yes i know adding X will increase the minimal CD by aprox. 25MB). We (me and my roommate) are trying to build a small gentoo-based bootcd with xinit. I hoped it could be easy to use catalyst, just some work on spec files and then let catalyst do all the work instead of our collection of shell scripts. I still hope it could be done this way couse sharing spec files is a lot easier then sharing shell scripts and a not so simple howto -- gentoo-catalyst@gentoo.org mailing list
