9 No, there is not a way to make it read-only.

11 The 2007.0 snapshot is what we build the release against. It has
12 nothing to do with your installing a system or not, as you will want to
13 update your system after installation *anyway* so using a 2006.1 CD and
14 running an "emerge --sync" and updating world afterwards will give you
15 the exact same results.

17 If this is really something that would cause you to go to another
18 distribution over, there's not much that we can do about it and it is
19 likely that you might not be happy with Gentoo, anyway.
