Not yet unfortunately ... |

It is ~370 MB using zisofs, but should be more around 300 with squashfs |
| 23 |
(which will be coming out stable in gentoo-sources-2.4.26). I am on a |
| 24 |
relatively slow DSL connection, so I want to make sure that I have the |
| 25 |
best product possible before uploading. |

So, what is the tracking number on those releng boxen being shipped to |
| 28 |
OSU again? ;) |

As for "GentooMove" (perhaps GentooMooooove for Larry the Cow), it |
| 31 |
doesn't look that hard to implement. In fact, it is already in my TODO |
| 32 |
list. I have some more Catalyst cleanup/ documentation to do, but after |
| 33 |
that, all my time will go into this effort. |
