Hi All,

A new Gentoo Linux 1.4 experimental LiveCD is now available, named
"livecd-basic-x86-2002122100.iso" and located at
http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/experimental/livecd/

md5sum: cc3749d31a3abe535b17ccaf2f9ccde8

Changes include:
	* very slick-looking isolinux boot graphic
	(see http://cvs.gentoo.org/~drobbins/livecd.png)
	* relevant "F2" isolinux kernel boot option help
	* now possible to specify kernel boot options easily
	* new "noscsi" boot option to skip SCSI auto-detection
	* new "nonet" boot option to skip network hw auto-detection
	* new versions of all XFS programs (closing bug 9119)
	* finally, cosmetically perfect "auto-detect" output
	* new version of irssi on livecd (0.8.6)
	* new version of pptpclient on livecd (1.1.0)

As always, a stage1 tarball can be found at /mnt/cdroot/gentoo after the
CD is booted, and all bugs should be reported to http://bugs.gentoo.org
under the product "Gentoo LiveCD (all flavors)." Thanks for testing this
CD :)

Best Regards,

Nice pic, is there a .jpg/.png available? I'll include it in the gentoo
theme/media ebuild I'm putting together.

How about a short line on the initial boot screen:

"Press Enter to boot with default options or press F2 for more
information"
