I wanted to pose this question to the rest of you, since it is something |
| 2 |
I would really like to move on quickly. |

As many of you may know, I have been working on getting GameCD's |
| 5 |
produced for Gentoo. With the many changes in catalyst (John, you did |
| 6 |
make a gentoo-gamecd type, right?) that have been going on, plus the |
| 7 |
many changes to the LiveCD process in general, not to mention the |
| 8 |
forming of the livecd herd, I've been pretty busy and haven't had much |
| 9 |
time to get the GameCD's produced. |

I am currently building a new beta GameCD for Unreal Tournament 2004 |
| 12 |
Demo and should be putting it online soon for testing. I am building |
| 13 |
only an x86 version at this time, until I get the process and GameCD |
| 14 |
scripts working properly. When I first started working on the project, |
| 15 |
I had asked zhen and drobbins if the GameCD would be required to be |
| 16 |
capable of installing Gentoo. Daniel came back saying that yes, all |
| 17 |
GameCD's would be required to be usable as installation media. What I |
| 18 |
would like is to be able to go against that decision. I see no problem |
| 19 |
in releasing the ut2004-demo CD as installable, but forcing me to have |
| 20 |
the CDs usable as installation media eats up a VERY large amount of |
| 21 |
space on the CD and keeps me from being able to work with larger games. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Should the GameCD be official installation media, or should they be a |
| 24 |
special purpose case? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Just to let everyone know, the GameCD's will *not* be hosted on the |
| 27 |
mirrors, but rather will use Bittorrent for distribution. |
