It may simply be that making a few changes to the current LiveCD would do the trick. Writable NTFS (still can be mounted ro if preferred) ZIP/UNZIP Dos2unix/unix2dos Mkfs.vfat or similar (formatting fat partitions) Other certainly, but this is what frustrated me yesterday :-) There is likely more, and I agree that possibly considering making portage "work" in this environment would likely be the most interesting task, if that could be achieved then all else would likely fall into place easily.=20 What is the best way to get a hold of the lead LiveCD developer (who is that)?

It has had pretty much everything I need. Could you be a bit more specific on what you would like to see on a rescue CD that is not on the install one?=20 As for the selectable kernels, I understand that most kernel variants mostly enhance performance, but I have a hard time seeing that as something essential on a rescue CD.=20 Supplying a working portage on the CD might be more interesting. Unfortunately, I am pretty sure you would have to run an emerge sync before you emerge due to how portage works, and that takes quite a bit of time and RAM space. Now tell me why I am wrong. --Daniel Armyr --=20 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ daniel.armyr@home.se f00-dar@f.kth.se Tegnergatan 40 rum 505 +46 8 8 31 52 17=09 113 59 Stockholm=09 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
