[gentoo-dev] Installer CD / Live CD

[gentoo-dev] Installer CD / Live CD

[christoph]

On http://telemetrybox.org/livecd/ you can find some CDs with live gentoo
installations. Check out http://telemetrybox.org/livecd/startup for what
you see when you bootup.

CD does:
- Boot a fully functional gentoo system from CD.
- Autodetects hardware
- Starts a browser (links in graphics mode) displaying instructions and
  allowing to browse the net.

- Can play mp3s while you install.
- Can play videos (0.4)
- Can autoconfigure and run X off the CD. mozilla, xfce and fluxbox
provided.
- Contains a menu based installer
- Contains a menu based management interface.

So far I have had >300 accesses to the image and some reports of
successful installations.

I plan to enhance the CD to include KDE and Koffice. All binaries are
prebuild for Pentium on the CD and will be installed without building them
if so desired.  This allows a gentoo installation in 10 minutes with a
comfortable set of software.The installation process from
http://gentoo.org works of course. You only have a much more comfortable
environment.

Wow, great work, I haven't had a chance to try out your CD yet, but if what
you say about it is true, sounds like you did the gentoo community a great
service!  If you haven't already, contact Seemant Kulleen <seemant@gentoo.org>
and Daniel Robbins <drobbins@gentoo.org> about getting mention all over the
gentoo.org site and such ;-)  Thanks!

Bleh..
Would be cool if somebody notified me about this stuff as well...
I've been trying for some time now to collect some programmers who can assist 
in making the installer, but if i'm not informed about stuff like this, we'll 
have lots of duplicate efforts, don't you think?...

Well it was put together in a week by me. Kind of unorganized... sorry
about that. They did not know and could not have told you.
