Attached, but whatever you do, do *not* post bugs for problems you find with most of the GameCD stuff to bugzilla unless you assign it directly to me. I'm working on most of the GameCD stuff and don't want to bog zhen down with it until I have it in a semi-working state. > I am running gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.3-r1, and do beleive that I am > running SquashFS-tools for 2 so that would create all of those issues. Yeah... You'll need at *least* gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r11 in your snapshot and gentoo-sources-2.4.26-r6 to be marked stable to use squashfs-tools-2.0 or above. > Catalyst is a wonderful tool and I would love to help in any way shape > or form.

We aren't making it a separate project. Most of the experimental stuff I am coordinating myself, and will be starting to produce some alpha-quality stuff in the near future. If you check #gentoo-releng often, I'll be posting a link in the topic. The thing we need more than anything is testers for *all* our LiveCD media, as that is the hardest thing for us to do ourselves. > Again I want to thank you for your help. No problem...
