1 When building livecd with custom motd, the custom motd gets moved into the build environment correctly, but then get's blanked when the livecdfs-update.sh tries to cat missing generic-motd.txt and minimal-motd.txt files into /etc/motd. Bug entered on bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127186

5 gentoo-release-minimal )
6 cat /etc/generic.motd.txt /etc/minimal.motd.txt > /etc/motd
7 sed -i 's:^##GREETING:Welcome to the Gentoo Linux Minimal Installation CD!:' /etc/motd

9 Probably should check if custom motd being used and if so skip the Tweaking the MOTD section.
