Comment #5 made me pretty upset. This guy paid money for our CD set and |
| 10 |
it doesn't work. This is definitely a very big black eye for Gentoo as |
| 11 |
a whole. Our installation media is the first experience people will |
| 12 |
have with Gentoo. With that being said, I am going to make sure that I |
| 13 |
help out in any way possible to help test the 2004.2 x86 (and amd64) |
| 14 |
LiveCD's. I have 4 different (p3, athlon-mp, xeon, opteron) SMP |
| 15 |
machines and can test several configurations with them (scsi, scsi raid, |
| 16 |
ide). I also have a laptop, so I can test PCMCIA. |

I'm sending this to let everybody know. If you need my help, please |
| 19 |
ask. I will gladly help test. After all, how can I recommend Gentoo to |
| 20 |
people if our installation media is b0rked? |

Thanks you for listening to my little spiel and have a great day. |
