everybody who knows what the difference between a Minimal CD and an |

Universal CD snicker to themselves. ;] |

No, the LiveCD does this. The Installer is a feature of the LiveCD. |

Also, the Installer doesn't do networked installs, anymore. |

No, Gentoo is about empowering the user to make choices for themselves |
28 |
and providing the tools to facilitate those choices. It doesn't mean |
29 |
that we have to spend countless hours building, testing, and supporting |
30 |
media that we find to be rather useless due to its *very* limited |
31 |
feature set versus the LiveCD. |
