3 Interesting and good, but the LiveDVD is, let us say the truth -
4 overkill.

6 A other good solution would be merging Universal and Minimal-CD
7 togehter, so we offer only a smaller Universal-CD (about 200-400 MB) and
8 a complete LiveCD (about 700 MB).

14 No. Only the Installer does this! This is not possible via shell,
15 because the users have no access to the voodoo-scripts.

18 times from
19 the LiveCD.

21 Why nobody removes Gnome, Open-Office from the LiveCD and replace it by
22 a true Stage3? It would be also nice, not be forced always switch of the
23 automatic start of the howl X11-Crap.
24 Default could be the plain shell, as ever, and a message who says the
25 user he could type "installer" (for ncurses-installer) and
26 "gui-installer" (for X11 with Installer). Gentoo is about choices ;-)
