Everything that was on the universal will be on the X-LiveCD with the exception of stages. Instead, the installer can build a stage3 on-the-fly from the packages on the LiveCD itself. While this is currently much slower than using a stage3 tarball, we're working on speeding it up. And no, we won't put a stage3 tarball back on the LiveCD. There simply isn't the room. We had a hard enough time fitting the portage snapshot on there while still keeping most (no KDE) of the standard GRP set. -- Andrew Gaffney http://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/ Gentoo Linux Developer Installer Project -- gentoo-installer@gentoo.org mailing list
