I probably said this several times, in Sabayon we do use an almost |
| 13 |
vanilla Aanconda Installer, that does livecd/dvd to hd. Using Anaconda |
| 14 |
means that stuff like kickstart is supported (even if we never used |
| 15 |
that). The downside is: we need to use some of cr*ppy redhatish |
| 16 |
packages (only for the purpose of satisfying anaconda runtime deps), |
| 17 |
and libselinux/libsepol, which are known to cause automagic |
| 18 |
dependencies issues across a wide range of random pkgs. We solve that |
| 19 |
by bundling such libs in our app-admin/anaconda package and installing |
| 20 |
them on less annoying library path (/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime), |
| 21 |
something not really Gentoo-compliant. |
