1 A few months ago the Gentoo Release engineering team changed the way
2 that releases are done to simplfy, automate, and provide more current
3 release media on a more regular basis. One of the consequences of
4 this is that the livecds are no-longer being released. This leaves
5 the installer with no place or function any longer. The installer
6 developers have all moved on to other projects, leaving GLI in an
7 unmaintained state. We can no-longer offer support for the 2008.0-r1
8 LiveCDs for x86 and amd64, though we expect it to work for
9 those that use it. During this project's five year existence, it has
10 been both a pride for Gentoo and a source of controversy. The Gentoo
11 Handbook is still the official installation method for Gentoo. For
12 those still seeking to do automated gentoo installs, please see the
