12 No. You should not be using livecd/type: gentoo-release-minimal when
13 you aren't building a Gentoo release. There is generic-livecd for
14 *anything* that is not official Gentoo media. The basic premise is that
15 the official media requires some things and does some things that users
16 will not want. If you're using gentoo-release-* and something is being
17 overwritten, you're pretty much going to get a simple response from me.
18 Don't use gentoo-release-* as it is doing what is expected.
