By the way, this is *exactly* why we do not ship any distcc-enabled |
15 |
LiveCD images. We'd have to make a new CD for every version of gcc we |
16 |
have laying around the tree. |

Perhaps instead, you would do better to build a CD that has all of the |
19 |
components for a Windows-based distcc, as they don't require access to |
20 |
the registry, or really to be installed. You can use cygwin/gcc/distcc |
21 |
on Windows, you know. |

At any rate, this would probably belong over on gentoo-releng or |
24 |
gentoo-catalyst instead. |
