Re: [gentoo-catalyst] Is this a bug?

That's what I was afraid of.

But since you have a boot option called nox (no X), and the boot options are 
specified by catalyst, perhaps it's possible for catalyst to write a boot 
option on the build, saying the livecd signature/version and genkernel would 
read it and look properly. Lol, it's not important, but an idea for someone 
to pick later?

Btw, I'm writting new docs before I forget
