Dear Gentooers! |

*Intro* |

Gentoo Anaconda is a fork of Sabayon Anaconda which is a fork of |
| 6 |
Fedora/Red Hat Anaconda. Anaconda is an installer for Linux disros, |
| 7 |
originally for Fedora/RH but now it's distro-independent and many |
| 8 |
other distros use it as their installer. Sabayon is a binary distro |
| 9 |
based on Gentoo. |

* Progress so far * |
| 12 |
The tree view mirror selection is implemented, and the packages are |
| 13 |
upgraded to the newest features. I've also managed to cook a LiveDVD |
| 14 |
with Anaconda on it, but it had some issues, so I'll redo it. There |
| 15 |
should be a new LiveDVD by Monday morning, and if it proves to be |
| 16 |
working correctly, I will post it here. |

* Coming up next * |

Thanks to the installer having a nice banner and a link to the |
| 20 |
chapter, the area the screens can use has shrunk a little bit. Some |
| 21 |
screens look a bit off and need to be fixed. There are also some |
| 22 |
issues with the newer versions of packages that need to be ironed out |
| 23 |
but nothing fatal (like a change of USE flags, a new dependency etc. – |
| 24 |
general ebuild maintenance). I will also finally implement validation. |

Have fun! |
