Would you call Gentoo incomplete because it doesn't provide physical hardware where to install it? No. So why do not having an official livecd makes it incomplete? Think it the other way. Gentoo is, among other things, a way to install Linux from any decent Linux live cd. From this point of view, the fact that Gentoo sometimes releases an 'official' live cd is more of a luxury than something it needs to be complete. m. --=20 gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
