I can understand chris's position. but it would be nice if he would consider the development of a script for the "livecd" that could extract the stage4 on it and include documentation in the handbook on how to do it. because as is the installers don't allow for enough flexibility. I personally would like to know who decided to put bottom and I think top partition size limits in the installer. the limits should have been dictated by the filesystem limits themselves. my system my choice. another option might be a "skip section" of the installer." that way we can on do the stage4 part, and forget the rest if we want. would any of this be such a hard and impossible thing for releng to do and support? -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
