Chris:

Thanks for your reply,

I have enjoyed using Gentoo for many projects over the years, I've also been
very impressed with all of the releng projects. Even more so with
gentoo-installer.

What I thought was a simple request for spec files seems to have turned into

a nightmare. I had Andrew kick me out of "gentoo-installer" for even
bringing it up.

To make matters worst my ideas are not far off of the relengs goals, and
that's really to promote Gentoo and to have an install method that is less
tedious.

So now I'm stuck, I honestly would love to use Gentoo and Catalyst along
with Gentoo-Installer in my project, but how can I if Gentoo is unwilling
pass on information that will allow me to achieve my goals?

Regards,

Michael Rosset
