*sigh*

It can easily be reproduced by someone versed in catalyst.  Go check out
the catalyst mailing list to see lots of people making their own LiveCD
images every day.  Just because you don't want to take the time to learn
catalyst does not make it my problem.

As I have tried to explain to you countless times before, you simply
would not be able to properly replicate the CD without my *exact* build
environment.  This means machine names (with proper distcc toolchains on
the proper ports, etc) and all kinds of other really nasty stuff in the
code that I don't feel like cleaning up.

I *am* cleaning up this code for release, and it is called catalyst 2.0.

Now, I've determined that you're nothing but a troll, so consider this
my last response to your mails, as I don't feel the need to feed a
troll.  It just makes them keep coming back.
