Hi all -
I am back, sorta ;) I have everything moved home, but my dev box will
not be up until I can run some cable to the room that it is in. So,
until about Monday night EDT or so, I will be on my little PPC laptop.
Drop me a line on mail or IRC if you need me.

BTW, thanks to Jeff for mailing everyone for me.

Cheers,
//zhen

I plan on adding the patch to bugs.gentoo.org once I finish my testing
in the next day or two.

Things I've modified:

- motd handling when livecd/motd is *not* called... now it is generated
based on the livecd/type, so no more messages on minimal CD's telling
you that stages are in /mnt/cdrom...
- root has a .bash_profile - what it does is it looks for
/usr/X11R6/bin/X, then for /etc/startx, and if both exist, it runs
startx, otherwise, it does nothing... this should make the creation on
an X livecd easier on us...
- pwgen has been moved from replacing /etc/init.d/local to having its
own init script, so I changed the default rc-update add line accordingly
- local.start now will execute x-setup if it exists and also sets the
volume to 75% on the main ALSA channels... I needed this for the GameCD,
but it would be nice to add xmms (or something) to an X LiveCD...
- fixed a bug in default-runscript.sh involving the motd
- added a gamecdfs-update.sh script to runscript-support to facilitate
the building of a GameCD...
- added a "gentoo-gamecd" livecd/type for livecd-stage2

All of these changes will make it very simple to create a GameCD from my
spec templates.  All that will be required will be a working portage
snapshot, to add the game name to the last line of
arch-livecd-stage1.spec (I'll be providing x86 now, amd64 later), then
edit the top 3 lines of gamecdfs-update.sh to include the name of your
game (Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo), game short name (UT2004 Demo), and
game executable (/usr/games/bin/ut2004demo).

After that, all one must do is build a livecd-stage1 and livecd-stage2
and the process is complete.  I'll be setting up a script for the
Xcdfs-update.sh shortly, which will be similar to the gamecdfs-update,
but will require no hand-editing.
