Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
I now that Chris Gianelloni loves his LiveCD an the GUI-Installer and I |
4 |
know that he don't like to accept changes he don't support personally. |
5 |
But I do that know, so please don't kill me: |

Gentoo should have again an Universal-CD again, because: |
8 |
|
9 |
* Support for network/networkless-installation on one release-media |
10 |
* More flexibility as with Minimal-CD and LiveCD |
11 |
* Compared with LiveCD the footprint is generally small (necessary |
12 |
hardware, size of image) |
13 |
* Offers the classic full "Shell-Installation" who is loved by the |
14 |
gentoo-community (no voodoo-scripts, included stage3 and sources for the |
15 |
most important packages like vanilla-sources and bootloaders) |
16 |
* Could also offer a Ncurses-Installer and requires only some MB of |
17 |
space on the disk (without X11, Gnome, OpenOffice) |
18 |
* One consistent-installation way for all platforms (only x86/x86_64 |
19 |
doesn't offer it currently) |
20 |
* Debian and Ubuntu (with its alternate-cd) offers currently more |
21 |
flexible solutions than Gentoo! Hey, who is here the meta-distribution? |
22 |
* There are currently unoffical Universal-CD avaiable, we don't need |
23 |
much work to prepare: http://download.libexec.de/ting/2007.0/ |

Thanks to dertobi for the great work ;-) |

Maybe he can support you with necessary and up-to-date catalyst files. |

Please don't put this suggestion to your trash can, because you |
29 |
personally don't need or want it. The Univeral-CD is and was always a |
30 |
great installation-media, and it was simple. |
31 |
|
32 |
This is no suggestion against the LiveCD or the Installer! |

Thanks |
