[gentoo-dev] livecd-ng questions

[Matt]

Hi all.  I am using the livecd-ng script from CVS to make a gentoo
distro that boots directly into different kinds of game servers.  I've
been using it at LAN parties and different gaming events.  Lately, I've
been spending more time burning copies for people and less time
playing.  So, I built this machine with a 52x bunrner and moded
livecd-ng script to be this menu-driven app.  People just walk up to the
screen, go through the menu, pop their blank cdr in, and in a few
minutes the cdr opens and they have a shiny new gentoo livecd with their
favorite game servers on it.  Its like the supercuts method.

If someone on here is doing development on that module, I have a few
questions about the livecd-ng shell script.

- when booting the cd, checkfs, localmount, clock, and bootmisc fail to
start.  Do I need to take these out?  Is there something I need to do to
make them start up right?

- whats going on with the chroot_clean function?  all the code for
adding the bits and pieces like fstab, CDBOOT=1, etc are gone.  Will
they reappear again or should I just do my own thing there?

- gclooop-0.66.3 does not compile for me at all.  I'm using _0.66-1. 
What does .3 give me?  I've checked out the lastest version that was
just commited 9 days ago but still it dies.  Missing headers I believe
but I'm not at the machine to get the actual error for you.

Thanks for your time.
