Ok, that makes perfect sense! Though the rumours that it's hard being |
| 6 |
listened to when posting bugs are turning out true for my second bug (help |
| 7 |
me out here, unless I'm being stupid - haven't read the whole ebuild docs - |
| 8 |
but this is trivial right?): |

So catalyst gets very dependent on portage. |

What I'm saying is: catalyst is awesome and is a few command options away |
| 20 |
from being acessible to much more people. You may just want a livecd to use |
| 21 |
once and not maintain it (short lifespan games cd's for instance). It's an |
| 22 |
option people. Want to use it perfectly ignore the option. Want a quick |
| 23 |
dirty built use it that's all :). |

!Idea! for reproducible results, instead of "logging on" the cd, one could |
| 32 |
just point catalyst to a script (that would do only emerge arguments, how |
| 33 |
much mess can it make like that?). |

Now I'm just building a personal livecd to learn catalyst and use my |
| 40 |
favourite programs everywhere (eclipse, gcc, gftp, totem, etc). Later the |
| 41 |
real objective is top secret :P |
