RE: [gentoo-catalyst] Make liveCD how to

Is it just me or does this look like a cross between the new and the old
spec file syntax? Maybe out of the wiki?

Well I've done this:

livecd-tools is in the list and included in the build,.....


Here's my specfile:

# livecd-stage1 example specfile
# used to build a livecd-stage1

# The subarch can be any of the supported catalyst subarches (like
athlon-xp).
# Refer to the catalyst reference manual for suppurted subarches.
# http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/catalyst/reference.xml
# example:
subarch: x86

# The version stamp is an identifier for the build.  It can be anything
you wish# it to be, but it is usually a date.
# example:
version_stamp: 2005.1-r1

# The target specifies what target we want catalyst to do.  For building
a CD,
# we start with livecd-stage1 as our target.
# example:
target: livecd-stage1
# The rel_type defines what kind of build we are doing.  This is merely
another
# identifier, but it useful for allowing multiple concurrent builds.
Usually,
# default will suffice.
# example:
rel_type: default

# This is the system profile to be used by catalyst to build this
target.  It is# specified as a relative path from /usr/portage/profiles.
# example:
# profile: default-linux/x86/2005.0
profile: default-linux/x86/2005.1

# This specifies which snapshot to use for building this target.
# example:
# snapshot:
snapshot: 2005.1

# This specifies where the seed stage comes from for this target,  The
path is
# relative to $clst_sharedir/builds.  The rel_type is also used as a
path prefix# for the seed.
# example:
# default/stage3-x86-2004.3
source_subpath:default/stage3-x86-2005.1-r1

# These are the hosts used as distcc slaves when distcc is enabled in
your
# catalyst.conf.  It follows the same syntax as distcc-config
--set-hosts and
# is entirely optional.
# example:
# distcc_hosts: 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.1

# This is an optional directory containing portage configuration files.
It
# follows the same syntax as /etc/portage and should be consistent
across all
# targets to minimize problems.
# example:
portage_confdir: /etc/portage

	Thank You Chris for your patience,
	 
	I'm in the stage of having my own first humble gentoo linux
based

	One detail though,
	When booted I'm asked for a login and password,.... which  but I
don't

	How can I arrange that i just get a prompt and allready logged

install livecd-tools in livecd-stage1, as it pulls in bashlogin
