He made custom scripts... |

Catalyst is just a bunch of bash. You can make it do whatever you want, |
| 12 |
it just doesn't do what you want by default. |

Lovely bash on the Releng team... thanks. |

I guess I won't bother to mention that there is a LiveCD in the works |
| 21 |
for release in the next 2 weeks, and that all the work that has gone |
| 22 |
into catalyst to make the Hardened LiveCD viable is due to the Releng |
| 23 |
one, but again... Releng doesn't look like they'll have anything soon... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I guess I should stop wasting my time. |

Umm... the Hardened LiveCD is nowhere near "official" yet. |

Well, part of the problem is that Hardened should *not* be doing things |
| 43 |
outside the scope of Releng, as they are working on *releases* which |
| 44 |
fall squarely under the realm of Releng. That doesn't mean that we |
| 45 |
govern them, as they are a separate project, but it does mean that they |
| 46 |
should be coordinating with us. Things have gotten better, but they are |
| 47 |
a far cry from where they should be. |
