What's the bug #? Have you been working on testing some of our open |
| 20 |
bugs? We need testers just as much as developers and becoming a |
| 21 |
developer is a whole lot easier if we know who you are from helping with |
| 22 |
testing. Either way, email me out of this thread if you'd like some |
| 23 |
help with the process. |

I would assume that all we'd need is a kernel and initrd to make it |
| 27 |
boot, the existing minimal cd should be adequate otherwise. Again, |
| 28 |
Brent is the release engineering person, so he's the one you should be |
| 29 |
asking. |

> 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? |

I don't see the benefit of releasing a stage 4 build, since that would |
| 34 |
essentially require us to make decisions as to what you should have on |
| 35 |
your system. While it is convenient, I would suspect that most Gentoo |
| 36 |
users would choose not to use it. Again, you're more than welcome to |
| 37 |
prepare a repository of pre-built packages for PS3, but it's unlikely |
| 38 |
that we'll do that in an official sense (speaking for myself here, if |
| 39 |
others want to do it, more power to them!). |

Hope that helps, |
