Might be faster to write a script to move everything to a temp directory and |
| 11 |
then move back the tar.bz2 file for each ebuild package installed. (Depends |
| 12 |
on how fast your net connection is as to whether it would be worth it.) |

That should get all the application packages -- you may have to hand copy |
| 17 |
some of the stage1-, stage2- and stage3 tarball stuff. I'm not sure that that |
| 18 |
stuff (such as the initial filesystem layout) is in any kind of ebuild |
| 19 |
package. |

It should fit easily on the "minicd" or "noX" versions. Of course "it" is |
| 24 |
rather flexible. If you're talking about the bare bones of gentoo, it should |
| 25 |
only be 100 - 150 MB. If you add all the source tarballs for everything else |
| 26 |
on the CD, then the more you put on the CD the bigger the source will be. I'm |
| 27 |
pretty sure there's a "sweet spot" in there where you can have most of the |
| 28 |
functionality you'd expect, but still have a reasonable sized CD. |

I'd leave out the big package groups like KDE and Gnome to start with. X and |
| 31 |
something like Blackbox + xfce will probably be doable, although if |
| 32 |
necessary, even X could be postponed until later. |
