Got it, thanks. Is there any good way in catalyst to override that |
| 20 |
file, or do I have to create my own ebuild for it in an overlay? |

I'll look into that; thanks. |

Just to be clear on this: I don't need to rebuild stage3 when I make a |
| 28 |
change like that right? Rebuilding livecd-stage1 (to get the new |
| 29 |
genkernel) and livecd-stage2 (to build the kernel/initrd) is good |
| 30 |
enough? I know it's good enough normally, just making sure that the |
| 31 |
kernel/initrd build isn't special in some way. |
| 32 |

OK, I'll look into this as well. I really, really need to get my |
| 37 |
current iteration done today so I might not have time. I'll kick off a |
| 38 |
build in the background for this in another workspace though. |

OK, although as you'll recall some of the stuff I'm doing is probably |
| 45 |
not anything you care much about supporting :-). |
