The Release Engineering group is only interested in building release materials. It isn't our job to care about backup/recovery, really. You are more than free to create your own recovery CD for any architecture you want, and we'll even help you with any problems you have. That being said, we are not going to add more packages to the installation media. We are looking to reduce the size of the media, rather than increase it. > recovery ( albiet I will admit not many for alt arches ).

Never. *grin* I guess this is where I give my standard answer. The experimental LiveCD, which has no real ties to the actual 2005.0 release, will be done when it is done, and will be released shortly after that. ;] --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-UKCLBn0nVGENyVIFvqZT Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCNzfPkT4lNIS36YERAoRrAJ4oi5L2gPTBVUCDXJOeGpSBSlVZwwCfVAbE QLEN/ItFnmQ2h1/rg8I65NM= =4dHw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-UKCLBn0nVGENyVIFvqZT-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
