1 Hi all. I am using the livecd-ng script from CVS to make a gentoo
2 distro that boots directly into different kinds of game servers. I've
3 been using it at LAN parties and different gaming events. Lately, I've
4 been spending more time burning copies for people and less time
5 playing. So, I built this machine with a 52x bunrner and moded
6 livecd-ng script to be this menu-driven app. People just walk up to the
7 screen, go through the menu, pop their blank cdr in, and in a few
8 minutes the cdr opens and they have a shiny new gentoo livecd with their
9 favorite game servers on it. Its like the supercuts method.

11 If someone on here is doing development on that module, I have a few
12 questions about the livecd-ng shell script.
13
14 - when booting the cd, checkfs, localmount, clock, and bootmisc fail to
15 start. Do I need to take these out? Is there something I need to do to
16 make them start up right?
17
18 - whats going on with the chroot_clean function? all the code for
19 adding the bits and pieces like fstab, CDBOOT=1, etc are gone. Will
20 they reappear again or should I just do my own thing there?
21
22 - gclooop-0.66.3 does not compile for me at all. I'm using _0.66-1.
23 What does .3 give me? I've checked out the lastest version that was
24 just commited 9 days ago but still it dies. Missing headers I believe
25 but I'm not at the machine to get the actual error for you.

27 Thanks for your time.
