Bootstrapping a gentoo stage1 system is a lenghty process. Plus, the stage1 disk is 16MB in size, there's lotsa space to fill up with useful stuff like ... games! Face it, gentoo users have __powerful__ computers. And even those who don't, still they can use a web-browser or IRC client __during__ bootstrapping/whatever untill they have a fully wroking system. I am for including a minimal X server with links in graphical mode, or hell even galeon, bitchx as IRC software for asking setup-repated questions to #gentoo or even better, Read the holy Docs on www.gentoo.org ... What's more to it is games. It's a boring process, wayting. People could fire up nethack or some solitaire... There's lots of good games for linux out there and most of em run no problems on almost any machine. HOnestly, I see no flaws in the component I want to add to stage1 tarball. Anyway, I'll be in #gentoo ;) oh, almost forgot. I will have a bot connected to #gentoo, similar to #debian's apt. I hope this is alright with channel moderators, I won't have problems for having an initiative...
