I would like to state my opinion on this... debate. the installer for
me... is inadequate it does not allow for nearly enough customization.
I generally keep my boot partitions at 32 MB why? because I don't need
anymore space than that( I have never even used half that much). I
optomize my ext3 partions using tune2fs as well. I also have a
seperate partition for portage and distfiles. also not supported.
fortunately my network works. however I would prefer myself not to
have to dowload tarballs which seem to only be updated on the next
release anyway. I am hoping that one day that the GLI will support
full customization, but I won't complain as long as I can get stage3
tarballs.
as far as older than i686 I do have 1 or 2 i586s that I have gentoo
on. I would like to see a generic tarball kept around for anything
older than i686. because gentoo is one of the few distributions I've
been able to get working on older systems. It would be really sad to
see such support go.
