[gentoo-releng] netcat

[Jan Gruber]

Hi!

I was directed to this list ta ask this question: 

Are there plans to include netcat in future versions of the install cd (full 
&& minimal)? 

It would be nice to nc images (install a batch of machines) without booting 
Knoppix.

Best regards,

Did you even *try* the Gentoo x86 LiveCD?  It has netcat on it.  You can
find it under /experimental on your favorite Gentoo mirror.

No, 'cause the machine is x86_64. 
I was thinking in install mode, that's why the Live CD has never come to my 
mind.

Thx for the hint anyway.
