When I started with Gentoo, it was ~15MB. =20 What brought about the nearly six-fold increase in size for our basic installation CD? I understand the LiveCDs have added lots of features and functionality that some of our users have requested -- I have no objections to that. I do, however, object to the fact that the old, simple and small installation CD was killed off. That seems to go against the "Gentoo is about choice" theme that we trumpet.=20 Why was this decision made? Who made it? --kurt --A7rymFNmjC2ggD58 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/QSwuJPpRNiftIEYRAhOeAJ9vr9hnQU/dcpWnBCLaZRT/jkapJQCgmnFo qekv19kDRy/JxR5Z2Bmogq0= =2DZS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --A7rymFNmjC2ggD58--
