1 Thank you Chris Gianelloni,

3 I'll take your word on the difficulty of solving that, but here's (what
4 looks like) a few simple things to implement in the next release, if you
5 agree, and unless they can be achieved equivalently (and easily) already.
6 -I'm using catalyst only for 3 days now, but I think not-
7
8 add a --pretend option to catalyst so when in the livecdstage1 target it
9 would do what it usually does but launch emerge -pv instead, afterwards
10 leaving the build to be resumed later (it had to require the resume option
11 on the config).
12
13 Just a simple way to know the use flags and packages being emerged
14 (currently only the last appear briefly in the screen without the flags, you
15 can always just add --pretend to the current emerge code, but it wouldn't be
16 neat if one didn't want to continue the emerge => ctrl+c).
17
18 I would also like something like "--chroot" that would get me chrooted in
19 the moment before the livecd packages emerge so I could figure out problems
20 more easily. It should copy a script to the new / so one could leave it.
21
22 Anyone thinks these are a bad idea? They seem easy to implement with a few
23 copy/paste to these two new commands.
24
25 Cheers,
26 Nelson
