[gentoo-releng] Location of stages and distfiles and such

Hi all,

A small question: in previous releases, users found their stages, snapshots
and distfiles in "/mnt/cdrom" on the CD. On the filelistings I've received
this is all in "/", i.e. "/stages", "/distfiles" and such. I might be
missing the point about zisofs, so my question is: how should I interprete
the filelistings? Will /mnt/cdrom be the same as "/" on the filelistings,
and "/zisofs" the real "/" of the CD when the user has booted it?

I assume it does (at least the filelisting I received for x86 - both mounted
and booted - have this), but a "yes it does" reply would be appreciated :)

Wkr,
      Sven Vermeulen

/zisofs/* gets to be / once the livecd has booted.
the rest of the directory structure shows up in /mnt/cdrom, so yes,
you'll get /mnt/cdrom/stages and so on, at least for sparc ;)
Best regards.
