Anyhow... just my $0.02 The graphical install is started manually, anyway. You can also boot the CD with "nox" to get to a terminal. The reason for the minimal CD is simple, size. If you don't plan on doing anything but a stage1 installation, a minimal CD + stage1 tarball is a lot less to download than a 700MB ISO image. Basically, you've suggested a capability the CD can already do. ;] --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-ssfXFmjZy7yok9KjGSns Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDVrAJkT4lNIS36YERAqqQAKCvUD7NUriow6d/Kiytq6OF8FgluwCgkoP/ I85oSHPmq6HgYZ0H11XgMEU= =gKz4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-ssfXFmjZy7yok9KjGSns-- -- gentoo-installer@gentoo.org mailing list
