Just wanted to add to this pool. Almost a year ago (more precisely July 2002) |
| 2 |
there was some work done on anaconda based installer by Victor R. Prada, |
| 3 |
perheaps the closest to what you are considering to do. |
| 4 |
The last mention I can find in my archives is on 2002-07-27, so not sure |
| 5 |
what's been happening to this project since than. Doesn't look like this |
| 6 |
project is alive or even Victor still around :(. Correspondingly not sure if |
| 7 |
the links below are any good anymore.. |
| 8 |
Still, you might want to try getting whatever was already done to jumpstart |
| 9 |
your project. I am posting said message below: |

Hello everybody |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
About a week a go i'd upload an iso image of an Gentoo Linux GUI |
| 17 |
Installer. Anyone who wants to test it can download it from |
| 18 |
http://gentoo.latinux.org/latinux_gentoo_installer/Gentoo_latinux_internet-01.img |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The installer will install what i call a "Gentoo Base System" that have |
| 21 |
everything needed to begin to work with Gentoo. If you want you can even |
| 22 |
remerge the system optimized to your machine. |
| 23 |

Thanks |

P.D. About 300 people has already download the image (or at least try to |
| 28 |
do it), people with nvidia cards will need to begin the instaltion |
| 29 |
without frame buffer mode typing "nofb" at the inital boot prompt |
