(I offered for the same task, a bug was started so I could join gentoo but since then didn't get a reply). |

Will this bootable disk be only to the ps3? What problems are you having building it? |

If so, afaik the livecd and stage4 could be released in the same file, since a livecd can be only a stage4 with a specific boot config file if I recall. A simple install procedure could be written so a user would approprietly copy the cd contents to the disk. (I was actually writting a GTK gui that did just that along with specific ps3 configurations). It's really annoying to compile everything from a stage3, are you dropping stage4 support for it? |
